A wooden walkway curves through a woodland of deciduous trees. The sunlight and blue sky peek through the gaps in the tree branches, creating multiple shadows on the boardwalk. A lone hiker is on the left, listening for the sound of nearby waterfalls.
Tall, sun dappled trees accompanied us on our journey to Brandywine Falls in Cuyahoga National Park. Taken this past Sunday, so just under the wire for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJourney #Nature #TreesonTuesday #Trees

Day 3 Tabular Hills walk.
Looking over a harbour to various small boats, a sign reads PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE SEAGULLS! They can be vicious.

A pretty cat book.

A black grated door on a tomb. There is a brass padlock on it, and a cluster of white flowers is above it and to the left.
📷 Last day for #WeekJforJourney, #AlphabetChallenge. So the final journey... Recoleta cemetery, Asunción, Paraguay. #Photography

End of journey's week - todays post is modes of transport, now at the end of their journeys after taking us on ours. Used and then abused perhaps, but more so a reminder of where we are all heading:
"I will show you fear in a handful of dust."
A sculpted finger sitting with its hands on its legs in the water of an old fountain amid what appears to be beautiful grounds (which is actually the Mission Hills Vineyard property in the Okanagan, British Columbia) and appears to be in a meditative state.
#Alphabetchallenge #WeekJforJourney
Figure in a fountain called 'Journey' sees its reflection as a mental #journey in a meditative state. (An Icelandic poet said something to this effect: I have reached the thankful position of sitting still in the same place but am still travelling).

Driving from the Celebration of Life for my oldest friend (ALS is brutal) to the beach for a celebration of retirement. Told myself I could have anything I want but there’s nothing here I want. #freshfruit #alphabetchallenge #weekJforJourney

So back to Tokyo, at the end of my short trip in 2005 to Japan 日本
I hope you've enjoyed my short series of posts for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJourney (Journey To Japan)
It's an extraordinary place, completely changed my view of how a country looks and sounds.
Loved it, can't wait to go back!
On the side of a lush green road, a wreck of a white vehicle is viewed by a cyclist in blue cagoule and black and yellow cycling helmet.
3/3 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJourney
… this part is marks by wreckage and crosses of people who have died.
The road descends to about 1000m, getting hotter and drier. When we reached our destination , we were thirsty, tired, a little scarred and our hands were rictus from braking our cycles.
A road clings to a lush green and cloud shrouded steep mountainside
2/3 #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJourney
… onto narrower, rainforest roads clinging to the sides of steep drops on one side, and water and rocks falls on the other…
Up in the mountains above La Paz, the road is windy with hairpin bends across a rocky landscape with some grass vegetation in the valley
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJourney
1/3
Death Road, La Paz, Bolivia
From 4800metres, you descend from polar type landscape….
A traffic jam on a motorway, with low inky & white cumulus rain clouds below a bright blue sky. The road lights are on & an aeroplane is taking off just above the clouds.
Now.
