A hotel lobby somewhere in Kyoto.
Day 12 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Panic, suggested by @maique
While I’m not sure that I was panicking, at times I felt uncomfortable as we walked up the switchbacks of the precipitous Halemau’u Trail at the end of our crater hike last week.
Day 11 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Retrospect, suggested by @chadgmoore
This just fitted the bill for me for retrospect. A area from my past and which is still in my heart.
Day 10 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Cycle, suggested by @agilelisa
I miss the annual Providence Bridge Pedal in Portland. This photo (that arm on the left bothers me) from 2014 of cyclists stopping for the view from the Fremont Bridge, normally busy with freeway traffic.
Day 9 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Language, suggested by @thedimpause
If it wasn’t for the pictures of the food in this Kyoto restaurant, we would not have eaten.
Day 8 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Yonder, suggested by @jidabug
Inverness, CA.
Ruminations on Travel and Place
Wednesday of last week I went back over to Lahaina to spend the day volunteering. It was hot, very hot, but rewarding. As I drove home I was reflecting on where I had been for the day. I had traveled across a good part of Maui in traveling from my home to Lahaina. Let me try and give some perspective… My home is on the north east shore of Maui.
🩻 A hospital goes from a place that I rarely see, to one that becomes quite familiar. A chest X-ray just completed this lunchtime, with a follow up doctor’s visit tomorrow morning. All to see how my healing from pneumonia is progressing.

Day 7 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Panorama, suggested by @dejus
The audience in Portland welcoming His Holiness the Dalai Lama, 2013.
Note to self: Do actually look at your ToDo list! 🤦🏼♂️
Day 6 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Well, suggested by @val
I think that this must have been a well? Now inside a hotel on Lake Como.
I stepped outside this evening to a clear night sky, and there traveling overhead was a trail of Starlink satellites. That was the first time that I had seen them. It looked like a trail of Christmas lights floating across the sky. It was quite a sight. I’m now on the look out for the next sighting with the aid of this website.
I like Manuel Moreale’s analogy of seeing the online world as a mirror of the physical one.
Day 5 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Forest, suggested by @ovr
The woodland leading down to the river Avon from Durdham Downs in Bristol, my stomping ground when I was growing up.
Sunset this evening from our lanai.
Hiking Haleakala Crater
I spent yesterday hiking Haleakalā Crater with a friend. The mountain sits at just over 10,000ft in altitude. The crater that is there today is not a classic volcanic crater, but rather a large erosional valley. It is believed that two valleys, Ko‘olau to the north and Kaupō to the south, expanded into the remains of a much larger volcano, possibly 12,000ft high, creating the crater that is there today.
Day 4 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Orange, suggested by @ekcragg.
😮💨 Exhausted but happy after a day hiking through Haleakala crater today.
