THE STAIRS AND STONES OF JAPAN

The stairs and stones of Japan have always fascinated me. My fascination began with my first day in Japan and continues. It is as if every stone is special and has a specific place reserved for its placement.

You have shot some unique photographs. Thank you for sharing these visual pleasures and reminders of a time I enjoyed almost 50 years ago. Robert

THIS PARK was a popular park in the early 60s. Many memories flood my mind as I see that the same ship is still anchored in the harbor. You have captured more than you might imagine with this photo; you have unlocked old memories of a romance long ago. Thank you for sharing this photograph.

Just taking a review and your photo weighs heavily on my mind. My deepest sympathy to the people of Japan for such a natural disaster. I truly weep for this tragedy.
