United Nations National Cemetery (Busan, South Korea)
On July 27, 1953 the Korean War came to an end. The Wall of Remembrance (around a reflecting pool) was constructed in 2006 of black granite and contains the names of the 40,895 fallen soldiers who fought and died for the South.
Photomerged series of photos from Meiji Jingu Stadium in Tokyo, Japan
Photomerged panorama of the Shosenkyo hike
Hottest day of the year, hottest part of Japan, extremely humid, and I was going to go on a long, uphill hike. The good news was the hike was mostly in the shade. Most people drive up to Shosenkyo these days via a car or bus. Don’t do it. Walk up. It’s a beautiful journey that you will mostly miss in a vehicle.
8 photo-photomerged panorama of Kyoto’s Shugakuin Imperial Villa
The sky wasn’t so great for a panorama like this, as rain had been coming down in buckets and was about to begin again. I took this photo on one of the hottest and most humid days of 2013 in Kyoto. Not pleasant weather for such a pleasant place like the Shugakuin Imperial Villa.
Photomerged panorama of Gwangju, South Korea during the blue hour from Chonnam National University
Many times last summer I wanted to go out and take some photos, but the weather wasn’t willing. Even when it wasn’t raining cats and dogs, it would usually be so hot and humid that I would have a hard time breaking away from the corner in my apartment that had AC. But on my last night in Gwangju, Mother Nature was merciful. The rain stopped so I headed to the roof of my apartment building to take these four photos which I finally got around to merging together.
