AWAY FROM THE DESK

Travel notes

Places, light, and the things I noticed along the way.

← Back to my story

Jeju, South Korea

Sunset by the sea, a rocky islet, and a photograph together. Three more memories from Jeju.

Jeju, South Korea

Jeju's softer side: hotel glass, evening streets, and a sunset that feels like a held breath.

Jeju, South Korea

Basalt, wind, and bright water: Jeju as a landscape of edges, columns, and sudden motion.

Singapore

Singapore at night: a skyline pool, jellyfish light, and flamingos blurred into something closer to memory.

Sentosa, Singapore

At the southernmost point of continental Asia: a small sign with a wonderfully oversized claim.

Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo at night, where attention has to learn a different rhythm.

Kyoto, Japan

Among the maple leaves in Kyoto, in the colours of late autumn.

Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto in late autumn: bamboo, maple leaves, temple roofs, and a slower grammar of looking.

Japan

A street in Kyoto: a small architectural memory from the road.

Mianyang, China

Rain after a practice trip in Mianyang: a quiet morning with enough distance to think.

Beijing, China

A half-day walk through Tsinghua, mainly for cake, partly for campus scale.

Beijing, China

Walled World near the south gate of PKU: a city frame discovered on an ordinary walk.

Xi'an, China

A corner of the Drum Tower in Xi'an, held for its geometry and dusk color.
