During a business trip to Japan in spring last year, I had the opportunity to spend a full day in Kyoto. It was peak cherry blossom season in this region but instead of following the crowd, I spent almost the entire day in two Zen gardens. For me, Landscape Photography is like Zen meditation and this picture is probably the “slowest” picture I ever took, taking almost one hour for taking the picture/looking at the tree and about two weeks for post-processing, until I liked the result. I might call this “Zen and the Art of Landscape Photography.”

Capsized
Winter at the California coast - never really cold but can be quite windy and not everything withstands the force behind those gusts. Luckily rare events so far in this part of the world. It's on us, to make it stay that way.
Once in a while, I will upload photos and comments here and invite you to respond with suggestions, questions and comments.
