Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.

Wow, my first instinct was lame theme, but I've actually got tons of stuff that fits. Apologies in advance for posting way too many photos...

Not the best photo (hard to get a good angle), but I love this church in Berlin with the roof intentionally unrepaired as a reminder of the destruction of war.

That's it for Europe, onto Japan! Here's the Golden Pavillion (Kinkaku-ji) in Kyoto.

Three different shots of the "floating" Torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine, Miyajima, Japan. I like these as a series (high tide -> low tide -> high tide) but in accordance with the rules I'll post them seperately.

This is 2.5 minutes, the streaks (look closely!) are stars. Alright, I could go on, but I think I'll stop here.
