Tokyo living

Just your typical 10′ wide by 100′ tall apartment building in the heart of Tokyo…

Today’s photo was taken in Nishi Waseda from the entrance of the Santoku Grocery Store on Waseda Dori.

Moesgaard Museum – Stave Church – Århus, Denmark

One day, while sightseeing in Århus, Denmark, I rode the bus down to Højbjerg to check out the stave church. I knew what a stave church was supposed to look like from playing the “Age of Mythology” computer game so I was a bit disappointed to find this one which looked nothing like my expectations.

None of the original Viking churches have survived in Denmark. This one is a reconstruction done in the 1990s. The bell tower next to the church was completed in 2004.

interior courtyard in Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen is a series of seemingly never-ending five and six story apartment buildings. From the street you would never know that inside them all exist a courtyard or common area for the residents. Today’s photo is of the courtyard in my second apartment in Copenhagen (2011). There would typically be a family or two barbecuing in this location on most evenings.

I’m in Eugene, Oregon today so today’s photo comes from a prior trip to Eugene. This is the arena on the campus of the University of Oregon used for basketball, volleyball, etc.

If you’ve had trouble accessing the blog during the past 48 hours I apologize. Godaddy was having problems which I hope have been resolved so that the site is no longer slow.

Siena Duomo, Italy

Today’s photo is from the archives, June of 2005 to be exact. I had a cheap, point-and-shoot camera at the time so I guess I need to go back to Italy now that I have a bit more of a clue about photography.
