River Salzach in Salzburg

Note the use of the word ‘favorite’. I’m using the American spelling because, as I write this, I’m humming the Rogers and Hammerstein song from The Sound of Music. I did this a lot in...

Instagram post 2180672743573807370_1228346548 Wherever you go, you can always find an Antony Gormley! We spotted ‘Close 5’ sprawled outside the Nagoya City Art Museum. #antonygormley #nagoya #japan #sculpture
Instagram post 2171385438782608416_1228346548 *Japan* Trish’s Top Tip - when you plan to visit the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, make sure it’s open! We rocked up on a Tuesday, the day after a national holiday, so the East Gardens, normally open to the public, were shut. We did see the famous Nijubashi Bridge with the watchtower of the palace in the distance. This is actually a double bridge. There’s an iron one behind this stone one.
Instagram post 2169837948300106544_1228346548 *Japan* Another favourite photo of mine from our trip to Miyajima Island, near Hiroshima. We spent a wonderful day here, walking amongst the wild (but very tame) deer. We gave the rickshaw a miss but I’m glad it’s in the shot. #japan #miyajima #deer
Instagram post 2168287563529586455_1228346548 THANK YOU, JAPAN! We flew out to Japan for the start of the Rugby World Cup to support Scotland in the pool matches. We’ve been home for a few weeks but still felt a part of the tournament as we watched all the other matches on the TV. Congratulations to South Africa; commiserations to England. But a huge thank you to the people of Japan who were the most gracious, joyous hosts. I’ll never forget this trip of a lifetime. Arigato gozaimasu! 🇯🇵❤️
Instagram post 2165465214875019544_1228346548 Fantastic to see poet, writer, ‘peaky blinder’ and all-round cool guy celebrating the 1st birthday of our local charity bookshop. He chatted to everyone, signed books and performed some of his poetry. Congratulations to The Holbeach Bookshop and the team of volunteers 📚🎉👏👏
Instagram post 2164087515942126938_1228346548 Swipe to see these tiny miniature bronzes which can be found on exterior walls in the market town of Spalding. Created by artist Joseph Hillier (@hillier.joseph) by making 3D scans of local people, they are part of a series of 14. They were commissioned by the town’s civic society and @transportedart. If you want to know more about Michael and his Pumpkin or Steven and his Onions you can read about each bronze in my latest blog post (link in my profile) #spalding #art #bronze
Instagram post 2162686079907804204_1228346548 A job for life? There are about 10,000 Torii gates at the Fushimi-Inari shrine. I think this chap’s going to be kept busy, keeping the inscriptions legible. #kyoto #fushimiinaritaisha #toriigate #japan ⛩🇯🇵
Instagram post 2160498088535802202_1228346548 Standing at the famous Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, I was waiting for the lights to change so I could film the pedestrians all crossing at once. I didn’t expect to capture a group of go-karters whizzing by. Kudos to these mad people, dressing up in cartoon costumes and driving along the busiest streets in the city! 🏎🚦🌃
Instagram post 2159674405017856554_1228346548 *Kyoto* We saw so much during our day trip to Kyoto. Taking the train from Osaka was cheap and easy. We wandered through the Gion District then headed to Kiyomizu-dera temple. It’s a busy place but somehow the crowds dispersed just as I took this shot of the steps to the west gate. #kyoto #kiyomizudera #japan
Instagram post 2156033820432055177_1228346548 Back home after nearly a month in Japan. What a fascinating, beautiful, inspiring country it is! I loved seeing the old and new, the modern and traditional. In Kyoto, so many people were dressed up in kimonos - like this lady we spotted in the Gion district. #kyoto #kimono #gion
Instagram post 2153851030928153320_1228346548 Scotland’s hopes have been dashed as they bow out of the Rugby World Cup, defeated by the mighty Japan 🇯🇵 We have had a fantastic few weeks in this wonderful country. The Japanese are a kind, friendly, warm-hearted nation. It’s been a joy to stay in their country ♥️🇯🇵
