Hello Everyone!When I hear the word "nature," the first thing that comes to mind is my trekking days. After all, where else can you truly experience the beauty of nature if not in the mountains?This photo was taken during my very first trek, and it remains one of the most unforgettable moments of my trekking journey. Climbing the mountain was incredibly tiring, but the moment we reached the summit, it was all worth it. I remember one of our officemates encouraging us to join, saying the trail was beginner friendly and would be easy. My friends and I were so excited not just for the trek, but also for the chance to join an activity with our bosses.

Hello Everyone!Earlier today, my sisters were planning their upcoming vacation to Japan. As I listened to their conversation, I heard them mention one of the places on their itinerary, the famous orange shrine. It immediately brought back memories, as I had been there during my trip to Kyoto, Japan, back in 2023. Coincidentally, the theme for this week’s Lifescape Tribe photography contest is "orange," and I realized I still have a photo of that very shrine. It felt like the perfect moment to share it. Not just because of its vibrant color, but because of the special memory tied to it.

Hello Everyone!This week’s contest is about music, and I couldn’t think of a better photo to share than this old piano. It has been in our family for as long as I can remember, quietly sitting in the corner of the room like a witness to so many moments from our childhood. We used to gather around it as kids, practicing pieces for our school recitals, sometimes struggling, sometimes laughing, and sometimes just pressing the keys for fun. I never truly learned to play well, music just wasn’t my thing but those memories have stayed with me. When I recently took this photo, I expected to find it broken or silent after all these years. But to my surprise, the keys were still intact, and it still makes music. The only real issue seems to be the condition of the wood, which has been affected by woodlice over time. Despite that, the piano remains a beautiful reminder of the past.

Hello Everyone!This week’s theme is all about the color blue, and I happened to have just the perfect photo for it. It was taken during our visit to the Toyota Museum in Nagoya, Japan. Inside the museum, there were several vehicles in different shades of blue, but the one that caught my attention the most was a 1957 Land Cruiser. I honestly never would have imagined that the early version of the Land Cruiser looked so much like a Jeep.

Hello Everyone!This week's POB contest is about flowers, so I went to my grandmother's mini garden to look for some. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with the names of the flowers, so I just took a photo of every flower I saw. I was surprised by how many beautiful flowers there were.

Hello Everyone!As soon as we arrive at work, we usually start by cleaning our workplace since there aren’t any customers yet. It’s part of our daily routine to keep everything neat and organized before the day gets busy. While we were cleaning that morning, a customer suddenly came by to buy a few items. As I was chatting with him, I noticed the shadow cast by his motorcycle outside. I found it interesting, so I asked if I could take a photo of it. He thought I was really into motorcycles, so he happily started talking about his own bikes and sharing stories. It turned into a fun and unexpected little conversation.
