Hiroshima, 11 October 2025 The limitations of my mobile phone camera become especially apparent when I want to capture more than just a detail.

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 It is baffling that I was able to go through most of my life without realising that there are flowers virtually everwhere. I'm deeply grateful that I can see and appreciate them now. Nothing is more soul warming than to recognise beauty.

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 I arrived in South Korea on 4 June 2026. Since then, it has never rained. The first time it did was on 20 June. Temperatures were constantly between around 18 to 30 degrees Celsius.
