Weekend of light riding and casual exploring:

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 9:31 a.m. - I went south on Xinhai Rd. which goes down to Muzha and goes through two tunnels to get there.

9:53 a.m. - Approaching the second tunnel, I noticed stairs on the other side of the road that didn't look private so I decided to reconnoiter. 

9:57 a.m. - Indeed, four minutes later the path crossed over the tunnel, this is the reverse of the previous shot with Taipei 101 visible to the north.

10:06 a.m. - Xianjiyan Trail. The tunnel was dug because the hill was significant enough for some decent hiking trails, nothing terribly challenging but good exercise. 

Xianjiyan Trail. I'm gonna own up to the crown of this shrine-like thing being cut off, not because of poor compositional skills, but because I had to rotate the picture digitally so it didn't look like one of my legs is shorter than the other, and it got cut off in the rotation of the photo. The need to rotate it, unfortunately, still points to poor compositional skills. Nikon N70, Ilford XP2 Super, CD-R.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 9:11 a.m. - Continuing Saturday's excursion south on Xinhai Rd, but then turning right and heading west on  Rte. 106 crossing the Xindian River into Yonghe. Taipei 101 visible to the north.

11:52 a.m. - I'd seen the Museum of World Religions on the map and was curious to check it out since it's apparently one of my interests.

11:16-11:18 a.m. - What's in a museum of world religions? Lots of miniatures of iconic religious buildings. Fair 'nuff. I consider it worthy. Unfortunately the Ricoh Caplio R4's poor low-light capability resulted in a lot of pictures too blurry to post.

Both days naturally included strolls in Da'an Park across the street and the current floral exhibition. Nikon N70, Ilford XP2 Super. CD-R:

Default shot.

Practicing stillness. An underrated exercise.
