Uji is a very interesting town. This little town is separated by the famous river, Uji River. Locals and tourists can get to the other side of the town quickly by using Asagiri bridge. This bridge connects to an island on Uji River and then it connects to the other side of Uji town.
An ultra wide angle lens makes this bridge looks so long :D

Whenever I drive pass by Vancouver City Hall, I always told myself I have to come here for some night photography. Unfortunately, I gave myself too many excuses not to come and explore this area until this weekend.
I find Vancouver City Hall at night is actually more prettier than it was during the daytime. It is a well-known landmark in the area and also a popular location for filming.

After our one-day road trips to different districts, we finally got back to Taipei and got ourselves ready to meet up my high school friends. One thing I really love about Taipei city is that Taipei 101 is so visible in different areas. I really like the building at night rather than daytime.
Throughout the dinner, my high school friends recommended me to go Fujhoushan Park (福州山公園) to get the city view of Taipei. They said that park is pretty local.

The last time I went to Seattle Space Needle was probably when I first came to Canada. I remember it was one of the tallest buildings in that area. Right now, it still is as it stood out from other buildings.
Unfortunately, it started to show its age in comparison to other modern areas in Downtown Seattle. I was planning to go up there but there was just too many people when I passed by...it is still one of the "must-go" places in Seattle....

Vancouver House quickly becomes one of the landmarks in Vancouver due to its unique shape. It always remind me of the jenga. I always wonder how can they possibly come up with this shape and idea.
Because of the pandemic, I spend most of the time at home during the day. The only time I go out is pretty much late at night. Actually shooting at night is pretty fun as I really enjoy that peacefulness.

Just a little small decoration on your famous "golf ball" When I took this photo, I shot another one that is out of focus with only bokeh balls.
Then when I processed the shot, I combined both shots and showed only the bokeh balls on the science world. The result comes out to be better than I expected. Have a great weekend everyone :)!

As soon as I entered the church, I was shocked because it is tremendously beautiful. The architecture of this building is truly amazing. This is probably the first church I had been to that gave me this feeling.
I was actually surprised not many people came here for a visit. One of the staff greeted us and told us we are free to walk around, take photos, and explore the church.

My last stop in my Kyoto was Nijō Castle. I was planning to go a few more temples but the temperature was just too hot so I decided this will be my final stop before heading to Osaka.
Nijō Castle is extremely well known because it was the home of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Shogun in Japan. Back in the days, shogun was the ruler of the country as he possessed a lot of power. Other clans and their fedual lords would have to listen to the shogun and be prepared to be summoned when needed.

Our next stop was the Fisgard Lighthouse which is only couple minutes drive from Hatley Castle. I was planning to come here for the sunset but our schedule was too tight that coming back at sunset would not be ideal. This lighthouse is connected to Fort Rodd Hill which a very cheap entrance fee.
At the beginning, I was told that I could go into the lighthouse. I was so excited at first but I realized that they blocked half way through so you could only go into the red part of the lighthouse, not the top of it. Even though I was a bit disappointed but the view here is amazing :)

The Lions Gate Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Vancouver. It is also one of the major bridges that is heavily used everyday. In comparison to many bridges in Vancouver, it is probably the prettiest with all these lights at night.
When I finished taking photos on Cypress Mountain, I decided to make a stop near the Lions Gate Bridge and get a closer look. Damn! it is very pretty...this shot is edited through Capture One Pro 12. I think one of the advantages with Capture One is that you can pull a little bit more details...which is good for Fujifilm RAW files :)
