The Pietà Rondanini: Milan, Italy
The chisel marks left on the marble made me sense that Michelangelo himself was still standing right beside the unfinished stone image to eternally continue carving the stone into his last Pieta.
His profound agony and grief about the meaning of our existence are vividly engraved in this beautiful marble statue.
(By great good fortune, during my trip in Italy, the government granted permission for all tourists to photograph the art treasures in almost every museum in that magnificent country.)

Varenna: Lake Como, Italy
On the narrow shore along the edge of Lake Como, the picturesque houses of this small village are standing in rows like colorful toy houses.
The steep rock mountains covered with green are soaring high just behind this beautiful village.
I visited Italy this June and took many pictures of the impressive scenes of this country. I intend to post the photos chosen from among them.

Varenna: Lake Como, Italy
When I turned my face and looked back on the narrow stone steps between the houses, I saw the deep blue surface of the glacial lake rippling gently in the bright sun of June.

Hagi (Lespedeza) flowers: Kaizo-ji, Kamakura, Japan
The countless flower cascades of Hagi are surrounding the aged stone steps leading up to the wooded gate of this small Buddhist temple
The full blown flowers of Hagi, which are beautifully adorning every garden of temples in Kamakura, are one of the splendid symbols which let us notice the beginning of autumn.
