Flowery face

Last post I talked about density/proximity issues in Taiwan with urban rural blurring. Here is a good photographic juxtaposition of urban/rural and nature/man. Moby-Flower For those of you that are in or will be in Taichung area on 7/24/10 we are having Taichung WorldWide Photowalk again this year.

Farming Fun

I know I've said this before and I'll say it again. One of the things I love about Taiwan is because of it's population density/area relation that city and country quickly overlap in spots. Here is one of them. Great to leave my 10 story condo by elevator walk for a mile and arrive at this. [...]

Astronomy Domine

I'm tickled that I escaped from the craft in tact. No bizarre alien tattoos were left and they didn't touch my charge cards. Sometimes a guy gets lucky. Quite tickled that my son is discovering T-Rex. Planet Queen has always been my fave since it's a little trippy.

Surrounded

By life's pleasures or pressures, treasures or tremors. Abundance or a bondage. People move from highs to low and from low to high. Where are you right now? I am the Light-Rev Gary Davis. He is one of the finest finger picking folk blues players to have ever been recorded.

Mouth Still Dry

One of the amazing things about Taiwanese people is that they are able to sleep just about any where. One of the earliest memories I have is walking down a side street in Taipei and seeing a man snoozing on a chaise lounge on the sidewalk. In fact it was jerry rigged so really a chair [...]
