My university is sprawled on the side of a hill, and my office is at its second-highest point.
A few brave souls walk up the hill to work every morning.
Me, I take the shuttle bus up in the morning and walk down the hill in the evening.
It takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on the state of my tummy.
That’s my workout …
That’s the Pavilion of Harmony at New Asia College, at one side of the topmost plateau.
It all looks very Chinese …
The above views are taken with my Canonet QL17 GIII, loaded with Kodak Color Plus 200.
The ones below are with my Minolta AF-C, with Kodak Portra 400.
I’ve been doing this commute every work day for the past 7 years, walking down the hill.
For the first time, I looked at the hillside.
These are shadows of bamboo on the hillside.
Followed by some fish (koi?) pond thing with a picturesque arrangement of a pale-green rubber hose…
And the Chinese-looking bridge…
A Chinese-looking bench I’ve never seen anyone sit on …
A mini-waterfall…
There’s that picturesque almost-identical rubber hose again…
A suitcase advertising a few film screenings at the foot of the hill…
And then the road…
One thought on “A 20-minute Walk”
