Just being there

Some images bring up memories of simply being in the moment.  How did we ever find ourselves here, from our simple beginnings?

For laptops and desktops: hover over an image in the gallery (carousel) to get its description. Click on an image to get a full-screen image.  Click on the big X at upper right to dismiss this and return to the gallery.

Hovering does not work on touchscreen devices such as smart phones; I may try to add CSS to handle the lack of hover on such devices.  In lieu of that here is an expandable list.  Image 1 is Lou Ellen holding David as we immersed ourselves in the Japanese worldview, even if only for several days. Images run to the right from there.

Accompanying the still images is a video that I put on YouTube.  It’s from the world’s largest musical fountain, in Luoyang, Henan, China, as it plays “Little Apple,’ the catchy International Song of the Year to the accompaniment of a striking laser display.
