Cactus Blossom

A late blooming Christmas cactus blossom or an early Easter cactus flower.

We’re not sure if this is an Easter cactus. It’s one of our favorite flowers.

Out and about with my Canon New F-1 and Canon NFD 24 f/2.8 lens.

Unfinished renovation of the former Marina restaurant at the west end of Centre Street.

Fujifilm 200 color negative film. Processed and scanned by The Darkroom in San Clemente, California. I enjoy using my classic Canon FD lenses. The contrast and clarity always leave me satisfied with the results.

Pick the hottest day in July, and then go to Kamakura.

The Great Buddha of Kamakura (鎌倉大仏, Kamakura Daibutsu).

The statue was cast in 1252, initially inside a large temple hall. However, typhoons and a tsunami destroyed the temple buildings multiple times in the 14th and 15th centuries. So, since the late 15th century, the Buddha has stood in the open air.
