Shortly after departure from runway 19L on Southwest Airlines flight WN311 to Phoenix on board Boeing 737 N606SW.
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).
EZY8663 to Alicante gets underway from London Gatwick while a 377 heads south on the Brighton Main Line.
An early morning glimmer of blue sky before it started to rain. There were robins on the overhead wires puffed up like kernels of popcorn....and just as noisy. My art table is ready for me. Coffee in a new cup as yet to be decided on its efficiency...a square cup? And plans for the day noted in my composition journal. Fabric and paint will have equal time today regardless of the weather outside.

Sunday morning lazy with my first coffee and a stack of reading to scan...plans for the day include a portrait, some long arm quilting on a bird house collage, and some sewing and creating placemats. Of course there will be walks with the boy Bailey. It has warmed up and the sun is shining...still cold, but sunny. A halcyon day to be.
Early morning flight from Stockholm Arlanda to Helsinki Vantaa. Here are we climbing out Arlanda in a Nortel 3C (runway 01L) departure route soon reaching Baltic Sea.
The plane was gliding off the runway in Hong Kong when I finally got a shot of the mountainscape of the island across the Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok airport. I always wanted to capture its silkscreen beauty. Finally my chance came- the plane's window was immaculate and the air was heavy enough with mist. The mood was exactly grossly lazy as I remember it to be.
