Making your own Japanese garden on outside your apartment door.
Japanese Gardening in an Apartment
… Walking up to my door… … Still walking to my door… what you are looking at is my tsukubai… a bamboo water spout draining into a large hand carved (by me: ) stone basin … … This my patio – looking to the left of the tsukubai. What you are looking at is my […]

If you look at your fingernail and take 1/10th of its size and use that measurement when you look at the darkest part of the night sky – the dark part that looks like there is absolutly nothing there – this is what you’d find: 7,500 galaxies
