Thanks for visiting
Well, I have not been much on flickr recently, and it's been awhile since my last image.
But, I hope all my contacts are doing well in the new year!
I will try to catch up a little bit over the coming weeks, and hopefully post an image or two too :-)
This is from a stormful day last autumn. Pretty much like the weather has been recently too, wet and windy.
Took a trip over to the Atlantic Ocean side of Cape May to see how the gale force winds were affecting the ocean. Some pretty wild waves!

視線沿著協和大道到聖彼得教堂, 很難不被右方的國旗所吸引, 這是國旗唯一在歐洲大陸飄揚的地方
It is difficult not to be attracted to the flag in the right side along the Via della Conciliazione to St. Peter's Basilica, which is the only national flag of Taiwan fluttering in Europe

I just started a book called "Blue Mind" by Wallace J. Nichols. It's about our connection to water, the way we are drawn to it, soothed and enchanted by it, and what the scientific research has to say about it. I'm still reading it, but so far so good. I am definitely taking note on how many of my personal behaviors and thoughts have been influenced by water, whether frozen in a glacier, reflecting in a lake, flowing in a waterfall, or caressing a shore. I think for me, water can be conducive to a state of mindfullness, or meditation, bringing the mind and body closer to the same moment at the same time. I'm curious to see what the research says.
Side note, this is my dad, on one of our many trips to the Oregon coast together. We've gone as a family almost yearly to bi-yearly my whole life. It is almost his birthday. Happy birthday, Dad!

For who, they would ask themselves, would be fools enough to dare the South China Sea in such a boat; to dare the South China Sea in the season of the winds?
(From: Yondering, by Louis L’Amour, 1980).
On a moonlit night, somewhere in the South China Sea, on green phosphorescent sea, over disturbed kraken of the deep, the speed boat churns the waves, traveling at prodigious velocity. We follow it for a while, like a flock of seagulls, then gently lower ourselves onto the deck, the salty breeze in our hair and the spray on our skins. Half-hidden in the shadows, we take a secret peek through the salt-encrusted windows. As our eyes adjust, we see a dimly lit cabin with a sole red light. Then we spot the crew, sitting silently on hard seats wearing life jackets.
Grim faces. Grim, tense faces. The situation must be extremely serious. Jack with his elephant rifle. Orinoco Suzy with the blow pipe. The Giancella sisters with their machetes and knitting needles. 20 grips, 5 art directors, 2 script writers, a dozen makeup artists, 1 celebrity photographer and certified madman. One-eyed Captain Sanchez at the wheel, bottle in hand, swearing in Cantonese.
Then, like on command, all eyes turn towards us. We have been spotted!
We disperse into the night, in panic. Man, these are scary dudes!

Will we find the Lady in Red? Will she be rescued? Or is it too late? The tension mounts. All eyes turn towards the scriptwriters.
