Man, I shouldn’t look at these pics before looking at mine. I’m going to be depressed 🙂

The building frames the garden view very nicely. Great compositions! Regards, Tom in San Francisco

This is what perfection looks like. I have been in Tokyo and love to see new views of the city. These pix are spectacular, as they capture the spirituality of Zen. I’m in Connecticut now.

I’m writing you from Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A. I have been to Japan once and long to go again. Searching “Fall in Japan,” I was lucky enough to come upon your website. What gorgeous photos! Just the thing to keep me calm as I teach class on-line. Thank you for sharing your experience and your photos.
