22nd Mar 2025: Full bloom cherry blossoms in the UK

-

Just before leaving the UK, I captured the cherry blossoms in full bloom. Although I had always associated cherry blossoms strongly with Japan, I found that those in the UK are equally beautiful and graceful. I hope that one day I will have the chance to see these blossoms in full bloom again.

24th Dec 2017: Rancho Palos Verdes Starbucks – My Most Cherished Ocean View Coffee Memory

-
Image
There’s a Starbucks in Rancho Palos Verdes (Los Angeles, CA) that I will never forget. Nestled right in front of the vast Pacific Ocean, it offers a breathtaking view that makes every sip of coffee feel like a moment of peace.  What made it truly special were the evenings—watching the sun slowly sink into the horizon, painting the ocean in shades of crimson and gold. I remember sitting there, completely immersed in the beauty, feeling time gently slow down. It’s been nearly twenty years since that visit, but the memory remains vivid in my heart. Among all the Starbucks I’ve ever been to, this one stands above the rest. It wasn’t just about the coffee—it was about the serenity, the view, and the quiet joy of being present in such a beautiful moment. Even now, I consider it the best Starbucks I’ve ever experienced. rencho palos verdes starbucks - Bing 地図 iPhone 6s Plus / F2.2 / 1/277s / ISO25 / 0.0 iPhone 6s Plus / F2.5 / 1/280s / ISO25 / 0.0 Participating in the ranking If you thi...

15th Feb 2025: Sainte-Chapelle A Masterpiece of Gothic Architecture

Image
Sainte-Chapelle is a stunning Gothic-style chapel located on Île de la Cité in Paris, France. It was built in the 13th century by King Louis IX (Saint Louis) to house sacred relics, including the "Crown of Thorns" of Christ. Originally serving as a royal chapel, it is now world-famous for its breathtaking stained-glass windows. ​​​​​The chapel's most remarkable feature, as you can see in photographs, is its fifteen towering stained glass panels, each reaching a height of 15 meters. These windows depict 1,113 scenes from the Old and New Testaments, with dominant shades of red, blue, and gold that create a mesmerizing play of light throughout the day. The morning sunlight, in particular, enhances their brilliance, making early visits highly recommended. The effect of the light filtering through the stained glass at this time is truly magical, leaving an unforgettable impression on visitors. ​​​​​Architecturally, Sainte-Chapelle is divided into two levels. The Upper Chapel, ...
