Taiwan - Jungle Dwelling

Back to Posting.  A few months ago the wife and I took another trip to Taiwan, this time with a 5-day side excursion to Japan.  The Big Cahoona was my faithful companion, and behaved beautifully.

My wife grew up in a small village halfway up a mountainside, where her father was the only doctor for miles around.  What a setting, to grow up in the jungles of Formosa!

This shot was taken just about a hundred feet from the front door of her childhood home, where her dad still lives.  Almost identical to another posting a few years ago, I took this picture for comparison purposes - this one with the Nikon D300s and the previous one captured with the Fujifilm s7000.  There is magic in both, with the contrast of the man-made house and the lush vegetation of the jungle beyond, survivors of antiquity (that is, except for the betel nut trees, introduced within the past few decades).
