While we're all cooped up inside I'm going to tweet one photo I've taken a day in case it's a fun distraction for anyone.
Here's a shot from Matsushima that I took in February 2019.

I take a lot of photos, mostly of nature or objects, so I'll be picking ones at a whim new or old and updating this thread in a similar way to the Forza thread: One continuous one.
Picture for today: Endless goldenrod flowers at an empty farm field in Potter County, PA during early September 2015
Screw it, maybe I'll share two a day. One morning and one evening. Birb chilling on some cactus, San Diego in summer 2010
It's Wednesday here now, so AM picture for the day for the late night and Asia-Pacific friends: A compilation of shots from the same overlook near Cherry Springs State Park, Pennsylvania taken between 2010-2012
Evening picture share for today: View from the window of a Buddhist temple in the ruins of Yarkhoto (or Jiaohe), an ancient city in Xinjiang. Taken in summer 2005. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaohe_ruins
I'm glad I was able to go in 2005 when:
a) I was still a student, so the PRC wouldn't be especially interested in me.
b) You could still semi-freely travel through Xinjiang.

We still had one of our student's hotel rooms tossed at one point because we did a small, very mildly worded survey about ethnic relations in Xinjiang. But it was a really enlightening study abroad trip in many ways.
Free Xinjiang, btw. I'll expect the phishing emails in the morning.
