December.16.2008 I'm going to Pennsylvania



I'm going to be in the U.S. for the next couple of weeks after an extended period of time away I'm not quite sure how it will be. There's a new president and congress didn't approve money for failed car companies, so things are all dire in the U.S. I'm going to try and post pictures from the U.S. during my time there. A homecoming diary of sorts. Stay tuned.

December.13.2008 I think I get the message



Sometimes I complain that in Mexico road signage is poor, but this image from Central Pennsylvania goes a bit far in the opposite direction.

This was taken from atop the Warmington Tower on the Campus of Goldsmiths College, University of London. It looks north and you can see East London and the New Cross Sainsbury's!

December.10.2008 Nature takes precedence over architecture



In Japan it is common to find trees that are hundreds of years old and that have been shaped by generations of caretakers. This gives these 'natural sculptures' a significance that trumps the building of a house. It is one of the joys of living in a city when one comes across an instance such as this.
