I have been intrigued with Japanese Gardens and now convinced that I will create one, of course in a much smaller scale, on one side of our home. This Shinto Shrine can be seen overlooking the beautifully landscaped Japanese Hill and Pond Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Constructed a century ago way back in 1914, it happens to be the first Japanese Garden to be created in an American public space.

Sri Lankan Leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya)
Classified as endangered, these magnificent cats can be still seen in the wild in Sri Lanka with an estimated population of no more than 250. This particular cat was photographed by me almost a year ago at the Pinnawela Open Air Zoo in Sri Lanka on a typical hot humid day.

Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, Central Park, New York
One of my favorite places in all of New York is the Bethesda Terrace overlooking the Bethesda Fountain and its Angel of the waters statue unveiled in 1873, a good century before I was born. A must visit in my book for anyone visiting this part of the world leave alone a joy for the photo enthusiast.
