Waves smash ashore on the western side of the Pacific, far from where I normally practice ocean photography.

Okunoin Cemetery, Koyasan, Japan

Packing bags and just about to head for the airport. Just like that, the Japan 2026 tour is finished. It's been both fun and amazing. Look for a full report in the March issue of the Peripatetic Historian.

The Hells

A geothermally active area in Unzen Onsen, Japan, the Hells stood at the center of an active collection of Buddhist monasteries, and in later centuries were used to punish Christians who refused to renounce their faith.

I wish you'd kept it up in Tokyo. I was supposed to fly from Nagasaki to Goto this afternoon but the airline cancelled. Won't be able to get out there this trip.
