As I have mentioned before, I like taking pictures of the ornate decorations on the roofs of temples and shrines in Asia. This one is from a temple in Busan.
I have been teaching English as a second language for over 20 years in Japan and Canada. What keeps me in Japan is the love of its culture, which constantly surprises me. I am also fascinated with "alternative travel", or "travel off the beaten path". Ferries and trains are my mode of choice... airplane for convenience.
