Whispers of Blue: Nemophila in Bloom - 22nd May 2011

Nemophila flowers

They are called baby blue eyes because the center turns white with blue flowers. ​​​​​
These photographs were taken in the spring of 2011, capturing Phinemora flowers blooming in the flowerbed of the hotel where I was staying. 

As the flowerbed was quite small, I chose not to use a wide-angle lens to capture the entire scene. Instead, I focused closely on the flowers to better express their beauty.​

The Kurobe Tateyama area is a magnificent mountainous region representing the Northern Japan Alps, renowned for the spectacular scenery of the Tateyama mountain range that spans Toyama and Nagano Prefectures.  Kurobe Dam, one of the largest arch dams in Japan, impresses visitors with its grand scale, nestled within a deep valley, and the powerful spray of water released during discharge. Murodo, situated at an elevation of approximately 2,450 meters, serves as a central base for exploring Tateyama and offers a highland landscape where visitors can enjoy nature throughout the four seasons. Nearby stands Hotel Tateyama, known as the highest-altitude hotel in Japan, where guests can experience the tranquility above the clouds and a sky filled with countless stars.

Best Starbucks Ocean View: Rancho Palos Verdes Sunset in Los Angeles - 24th Dec 2017

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...
