Mossy thatched roof in Shirakawa-Go

We got a little moss on our roof in Oregon, and I was reminded of the beauty of Shirakawago. The insurance company disagreed and decided to cancel our policy.

above the clouds somewhere between South Korea and Japan

June, July, and August in South Korea and Japan feature intense humidity. The skies are usually white, not with fluffy, moving, picturesque clouds like you see in Copenhagen this time of year but with hazy clouds that seldom seem to move or dissipate. Such were the conditions when my plane departed from Gwangju. Soon, I realized, the clouds were far more interesting on the other side where they were quite lovely, especially next to the blues that I had so rarely seen in the prior months.
