I certainly didn't want to write that paper ;) Anyway, the images that this poem strike in my mind are very intriguing. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be back on this continent 400 years ago or so. What would it look like without the hand of mankind reshaping it? I like the idea of 'places with no boundaries', or at least it strikes some sort of emotional chord in me. So yes, I guess I was maudlin :) I guess I was feeling a bit maudlin… I certainly didn’t want to write that paper ;)

I've been very good. Thanks for the HDR input JC. I have a lot more HDR images that I haven't had time to process, including some awesome ones at Kinkakuji and at Daitokuji. Unfortunately most of the places in Kyoto now have "no tripod signs", so I had to use the rapid shot setting and try not to move... the good thing is that photomatix does a pretty good job of still lining those up right. Love you all! We are back in Tokyo in preparation for flying out tomorrow and I had a bit more sake on the Shinkansen up from Okayama :) But I haven’t been overindulging. I’ve been very good.
