Stone buddha No. 64 (第64番) from the Taipei Shikoku Pilgrimage (台北四國八十八所靈場), depicting Amitābha (阿彌陀如來) and originally associated with Maegami-ji (前神寺) of Mount Ishizuchi (石鈇山) in Shikoku. It is housed in a small enclosure facing inward toward a private residence on Jingshan Road Lane 99; a dog sometimes guards the property, so exercise caution when viewing the idol.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
