A perspective view of a wooden structure, possibly a traditional Japanese fence or wall, with a small stone-filled drainage ditch running parallel to it. The scene is set in a natural, outdoor environment with trees and foliage on the left side, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

A vibrant image of a traditional Japanese pagoda with intricate architectural details, illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun. The pagoda stands tall against a clear, deep blue sky, highlighting its golden spire and tiered roofs adorned with delicate eaves.

A close-up view of traditional Japanese lanterns, arranged in neat rows against a dark background. The lanterns are white with bold black and red characters, creating a striking contrast. The repetitive patterns and cultural symbols add an intriguing visual appeal.

A traditional wooden Japanese gate with intricate carvings, framed by tall trees with green leaves against a bright blue sky. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting shadows on the structure below.

A view from the sea of the coast of Crete, Greece.

Want to know the backstory of one of my photos?

Flowers By The Road

Rich Tabor took this photo of wild flowers in a field outside Seville, Spain while simply riding down the road in a car.

Batu Caves in Malaysia

This photo was taken by Rich Tabor in Malaysia. He was there on a team meeting and they had a day to explore. He was visiting Batu Caves and pointed his camera up and snapped, and then realized how lucky he was to get the bird in the shot.
