a couple more photos from Japan -- the well-known Ryoanji garden and a wedding image I happened upon at Katsuga Shrine, Nara. They have an antique quality a little reminiscent of Felice Beato or Pierre Loti!
Been re-reading Joseph Conrad's Under Western Eyes -- possesses potent psychological analysis and tension. Would be worthwhile to compare the novel with Dostoyevsky, which I'm sure has been done.
