Green Glass

Leicester Street, London

I met my classmate, Naoto, at the Centre for British Photography and we went to a bustling, crowded Chinese restaurant he knew where, after a wait, we were directed to a table on the 2nd floor (3rd floor to Americans) and I saw this out the window.

Love of Country

Farnham Memorial Hall

It’s hard not to be touched by this honoring of the fallen of the 1914-18 war, nor to forget its condemnation by such as Wilfrid Owen (full poem at the link):

Pro patria mori.

Pillar, Shadow, Moto

Avenue du President Wilson, Paris
