    Seattle Panorama

    This is not a classic view of Seattle, but it’s one of my favorite places in the city. This place—probably not well-known to tourists—is a tiny park in the Fremont neighborhood called Fremont Peak Park. From this small patch of grass that used to be private property (now a city park), one can look out […]

    Harbor

    At the harbor in Balige, a city in Indonesia’s North Sumatra province at the foot of Lake Toba, the world’s largest volcanic lake. These boats travel from Samosir island, carrying farmers who come to sell their fruit and vegetables at Balige’s market. It was a 10-minute walk from the school dormitory where I taught to […]

  • Spring Bloom

    Spring Bloom

    One of the reasons I loved living in Seattle was that even though it was gray and wet for months on end, Spring came around and flowers began to bloom in February. This photo was taken in early March, 2010. I went for a walk one damp afternoon and was inspired by all the flowers […]

  • Up to the Volcano

    Up to the Volcano

    This is the path leading to the top of Mt. Sibayak, one of the active volcanoes of Indonesia. Although Sibayak’s last eruption was in 1881, there are vents hissing sulfur steam along its crater. Mt. Sibayak’s neighbor, Mt. Sinabung is presently much more dangerous with it’s eruptions over the last few years that have displaced […]

    Market

    This photo is a shot from the main street in Balige, a small town at the foot of Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Balige was my home for two years, and I often walked along this crowded bustling street. The main road running right through the middle of town is a major thoroughfare in […]

    Sunrise, Sunset

    I love sunrises. It feels good to wake up in the morning just before the sun to watch it rise. In Indonesia, I was awoke long before the sun by the crowing roosters. I’d lay in bed for a little bit and then get out for a morning jog. I took this photo of the […]

    Rain

    It is Autumn in North America. Darkness increases, days become colder. When I lived in Indonesia, experiencing October for the first time near the equator, I thought about the rain and what it brings. I wrote this two years ago, as I experienced the drenching downpours of Sumatra: The rain falls nightly now, bringing with […]

    Peaceful Sunrise

    There was never a shortage of beautiful views when I lived at the southern shore of Lake Toba in Indonesia. This is a sunrise from the small city of Balige, my home for two years. In this photo, I love the colors of the sky reflected in the water.

    Lake Toba

    This will be the first of several posts to share my photos from the time I spent in Indonesia over the last 2.5 years. This is a tranquil spot on Samosir island in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Lake Toba is a massive supervolcano lake. This shot doesn’t reveal the size of the lake, but does communicate […]
