A Walk around Fremont Peak

I was surprised to find I could see the Pacific Ocean from here. 

The trail was icy and I could barely walk on it, so I gave up the hiking plan.

At noon, the shadows of trees came to life and became such interesting characters.

Take 101 -> 156 -> San Juan Canyon Road to Fremont Peak. The road is pretty curvy.

A Walk around Hakone Gardens, Saratoga

The Moon Viewing House. I have visited Hakone Gardens many times. It is the first time I have ever seen it in fog.

The Moon Viewing House and the Moon Bridge. They look better in fog.

On the trail of Tea Planation 

On the highest trail of Hakone Gardens.

Tea Waiting Pavilion, it looks like out of a scene of the movie "Crunch Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Another look inside the Tea Waiting Pavilion. One can never get tired of the view.

Map of Hakone Gardens, you can see where the photos were taken.

New York Moments

First impression of Times Square, I thought I was in the movie set of Blade Runner.

New York night light, reminds me Georgia O'Keeffe's New York paintings.

Looking out the window of my hotel room, the reflection made it looked like the room was hanging in the air. 

Though small, the hotel room is cozy and has a fabulous view.
