"Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life"
Took this shot while we were in the waiting room, waiting to see Johnny's pediatrician at Bathurst Base Hospital.
Another view of the starboard wing from the gunner's window, this time without the gun. I had to hold onto my camera tight, as the wind was very strong.
Shot from one of the many rooms in the STAR HOTEL of Motomachi. Much reconstruction was still in progress at this time, thus the views were different than one would see today if one was looking out of a window of the STAR HOTEL. I am not naive enough to believe the hotel is still standing. Nevertheless, this is a room with a view that speaks volumes about the character of progress.
I like the lines the roofs offer, the objects of what could be called "objects of an era." Most Japanese today will not recall this era unless they are in their 60s or 70s. Once the face of the post -war era began changing, it changed rapidly. Few of the buildings that were part of the 60s Japan remain; they are long gone according to friends I have talked with. Trying to find landmarks in Yokohama from my tour of duty would be near-impossible except for the major attractions that were, in most cases, historic landmarks.
The interior of the room? Tatami mats, a futon and a laquered table. The Star Hotel is one of the most memorable hotels in my lifetime. It was here that I often spent entire weekends relaxing and painting without leaving my room. On the other hand, it was also here that I left my room to frequent some of the local establishments and enjoy nightlife and music.
Throughout my photostream, you will note many images and references to the STAR HOTEL.
Through my home theater window looking at front yard. We have a St. Francis of Assisi statue that the squirrels jump from to the bird feeder just above that has expensive bird food in it, so I put a bunch of black sunflower seeds in a cup built into the statue (which he / she is sitting on).
I love that quote from Margaret Lee Runbeck - and I believe it! For me, it's the going, not the getting there that matters most. Best to avoid the danger of focusing too much on some dreamed-of, ballyhooed destination (in travel, or in life), postponing fun or happiness till we "arrive" there. No. So much of the joy is in the journey, discovered unexpectedly along the way.
Had a fine trip from Ottumwa, Iowa to Emeryville, California and back on Amtrak's California Zephyr. Out of five and a half days away from home, four full days were spent on the train - and in coach! But it was a fabulous ride - wouldn't have changed a thing. Sure I missed my shower on those days, and then there was a bit of sleep deprivation . . . but I don't intend to let cleanliness get in the way of a train adventure, and I can always sleep when I'm dead, right? : )
Had just one day in San Francisco, and yes, I think I did leave a piece of my heart in that gorgeous city - could have happily stayed longer. But could I have traded the sweet hypnotic sway of all those railroad miles, with such an astonishing variety of American landscape rolling by my window, for the sake of more time at my destination? Would I have missed watching the Zephyr's lengthening shadow swallow the pole line as the day goes down golden along the original Transcontinental Railroad in Nevada? No way, baby, not a chance!! ; )
