Amazing trip to the Isle of Iona and Staffa. On the latter is Fingal's Cave that beautifully showcases the 60 million year old basalt columns.

What do you do when you are on a smallish island? You visit much smaller ones. 😀 Not these pictured but Staffa and Iona which are a bit bigger than these.

On my second last train of five for today, going from Antwerp to Lübeck for #MoodleMootDACH. We are making good progress. It's not as fast as the 298km/h between Frankfurt and Cologne, but still good.

The last day of my Japan holiday is coming to an end soon. It's been a place of extremes, idiosyncracies, hospitality, and amazing culture. I spent the day at the Edo Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum and at the Observatory of the Tokyo Metropolitan Gov. Building.

I wonder how these business hours were selected. Do they depend on the train schedule or in the morning the school drop off?

If you ever get the chance to see a performance of Kodo, I suggest you don't miss it. On the last day of their summer series at Asakusa Public Hall in Tokyo, they performed in front of a full house. Amazing artistry and awesome sound on all instruments, big and small.

Good to know that the last bear was seen on 5 February 2024. Good for the tourists, but I am not sure if it's good for the bear population in Kibune by Kyōto.

A piano bench 🤩 I love the Garden Museum on Mount Hiei in Kyōto because all the paintings are oversized, in frames, and mounted outside like this or on easels amidst flowers upon flowers. What an awesome way to present the impressionist art and take viewers through the garden.

This is a great way to contain trash bags prior to pick-up. Kanazawa was pretty windy, so it would also prevent the bags from migrating. These would come in handy in the Wellington CBD as well during cardboard pick-up, but might need some anchor hooks at the bottom to prevent them from flying away.

Waiting for the rain to stop a bit before continuing the sightseeing. I walked through the Arashimaya Bamboo Forest just in time before the rain started.
