  1. This 7.5 kilometer (5 mile) trail is a preserved section of the old post road between Tokyo and Kyoto. It was built mainly for foot traffic, single horse riders and hand-pulled carts as the terrain it traverses is quite mountainous. We started in Magome and hiked to Tsumago, which involves a short but strenuous uphil...

  2. The ruins at Yuanmingyuan Park are the result of European actions during the Second Opium War (1860) when the "Garden of Perfect Brightness" (also known as the old Summer Palace) was ransacked and burned in search of treasures believed to be stored there. The grounds and buildings before the plundering were said to re...

It is where the ceremonial gear was kept in-between visits by the Chinese Emperor who would arrive to observe religious duties such as praying for a good harvest or making sacrifices. The surrounding c...

  5. This is a companion panorama to "Freshwater Pond in Autumn". It is a hand-held panorama taken in late November after one of the first hard freezes of the year. The band shell with a red-roof in the Autumn picture had been recently renovated with a new copper roof (as it appeared, originally) when this one was taken. ...

  6. The Victorian-gothic styled Parliamentary Library is located behind the Centre Block Parliamentary Building and Peace Tower in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was completed in 1876 and narrowly escaped a devastating fire at the original Parliament in 1916. A fast-thinking librarian closed the steel doors at the connecting...

At the top of Abol Trail, the path passes Thoreau Spring in a relatively flat expanse called "The Tablelands". From this western path, the mountain gently rises to its highest elevation at Baxter Peak (the easte...
