Fragments

Here are some photos I wanted to share with you, but don’t know how to organize them yet. Photos here are not necessarily appearing in chronological order (or any order at all). I also try to include a google street view link to the each place as well. Hope you enjoy.

This was taken on the same hiking trip in Stoos, Switzerland. On our way down, we saw a gigantic cross erected far into the fog.

As we got closer, it turned out to be a chairlift pillar, of course.

Taken in Asakusa, Tokyo. Here is the streetview.

Edit: I had a little discussion with a friend about the Chinese title of this post. If you happen to know Chinese, I think it would be fun to give it a read.

Bolognese Formula / 异曲同工

阅读中文: 异曲同工

I was genuinely surprised by the consistency of Bologna, from visuals to tastes. The red bricks, one of the defining characteristics of the city, are so warmly appealing and welcoming, just as the meat sauce that the city is known for. In between the streets and alleyways, there are always green branches dotted around. Isn’t that just like how little basil leaves are placed over dishes, bringing a bit of liveliness to the big bowl of pasta.

Childhood Dreams / 童年梦想

It was a chilly afternoon at the coast, and the wicked wind blew at me, like a bunch of needles to scrape my face. In such a weather, there was not much I could do, but shove my hands deep into my jacket pockets and wrap myself as tightly and firmly as I could.

I really envy this little kid, who could open his arms to the seagulls and invite them over to have fun together.

Taken here at the pier in Sopot, Poland.

In the Mist / 雾里看花

Stoos is one of the most famous hiking areas in Switzerland. But all I could see was mist last time I went there. It was sadly the same even when I hiked all the way up to the ridge of Fronalpstock.

If you are curious about what it looks like on a bright day, the streetview location here gives you a good view.

But the little pony would be all mine.

Swing

Posted on Oct. 04, 2025

Oktoberfest comes with a festive amusement park. The photo was taken when we were walking about in it, after got a bit of drinks and got tipsy. (Frankly, I had 2 liters of beers so that might be slightly more than a ‘bit’.) It was a memorable moment though, seeing the evening sun though the people dressed in Lederhosen on the spinning swing.
