Just back from a 1-week trip to Angkor and Ho Chi Minh, bringing back excellent photos (hope so) and chicken flu (hope not).

Karrin Allyson sings John Coltrane

Have recently been listening to Karrin Allyson's "Ballads - Remembering John Coltrane". Great stuff!

The liner notes for the album, one by herslf, and the other by Nat Hantoff, are available from karrin.com

Hakodate evening

A few friends asked whether I stayed at the Hakodate Hill for a long time to take pictures showing the city gradually changed from afternoon to evening. Fact is, I was there for less than 2 hours. The four photos shown below were taken from 15:21 to 16:42. The offical sunset that day was around 16:00. Experts said that the best time for taking "Hakodate evening" photos was roughly half an hour after sunset.
