From the weekend I spent in Wadi Rum. One of the greatest experiences I had in years. The silence was breathtaking. How small I felt, how unable to make a sense of distances and scale. It felt like walking underwater, walking through a basin of a long since dried out aquarium. Only to be disrupted by a Hilux speeding along the horizon every now and then. This is the spot where the Red Deserts fades and blends into the White Desert. One of nature's most beautiful gradients.
Leaves from a garden wildflower (Stachys sylvatica). The detail in the leaves is picked up by the old insensitive Russian paper and the green background tone is so lovely! This is not resin coated paper so I avoid getting it wet.
Trip to Japan #6, Day 5 - Shuri Castle was the former seat of power for the Ryukyu Kingdom. Conquered by Japan in the 19th century and left to fall into disrepair, destroyed during the horrific Battle of Okinawa in 1945 (the worst of the Pacific War), and rebuilt only to be destroyed again—this time by an accidental fire in 2019—the castle is set to rise again like a phoenix in 2026. During our visit, construction work was not yet fully complete, but we could still admire its structure and striking red color. The site also offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Naha, with the Pacific Ocean on the horizon—simply magnificent.
Trip to Japan #6, Day 5 - During our visit to the beautiful Fukushūen Garden, I noticed some visitors in cosplay. Since this isn't unusual in Japan, I assumed it was either a private photo shoot or just some young people having fun. In fact, there was a cosplay gathering in the park that included choreographed performances. It was a local amateur event with a very cheerful, relaxed atmosphere. I asked a few cosplayers for a photo, and they kindly agreed to pose. It was really cool.
