A frame showing the beauty of the traditional Daoist temples that can be found in all portions of Taiwan.

早上

Early morning in the central portion of Taiwan.  Shortly before this frame was made, there was still total darkness about.  Just a short time after this frame was made, the sun was out and blazing.  I continued for many hours in the direction of the mountains, and was eventually able to arrive at the beauty and mystery of that landscape.  Two things that stand out to me looking back.  First, I am satisfied at the successful capture of the shrouded mountains, which at times, is elusive.  Secondly, these mountains turned out to be far more distant than they seemed when I snapped this photo.

A vegetable vendor in Taiwan.  Many vendors grow fresh vegetables, and then sell them in the morning at traditional markets, or along the sides of the street.

A traditional residence surviving in a more rural portion of Taiwan.  This frame was made at night, and the candles of the indoor Daoist shrine are illuminating the windows.
