Want to chase #Japan-era building in #Taiwan yourself? Here are some clear giveaways:
- walls made of red bricks, with white corner stones and window frames
- windows with intricate wooden frames and subdividers
- very clean, serene shapes of the roofs - no dragons, no ornaments
- outliers are industrial buildings made of concrete and steel - but the functional and strict Japanese #Bauhaus style is still hard to miss.
- did I mention groomed gardens and parks? #Tainan #Taipei #Kaohsiung #Taoyuan
Taiwanese warning signs deserve their own gallery. These two from Taoyuan airport will have a firm place. Making warnings into pop art style, well played #Taiwan #taoyuan #桃園國際機場 #服務犬 #警告 #波普藝術 #台灣 #taoyuan #桃園國際機場 #servicedog #warningsign #popart
Only got to work on images taken in late September in #Taiwan now.
Here are some old #Japan-era wooden houses and a pond with Kois and turtles at #Taoyuan's 77 Art Zone.
As for the Chunghwa Bank building I also strongly suspect it to be from the Japan-era due to its strict and simplified, functional #architecture.

#Typhoon #Danas, which 2 days ago was forecast to skirt past us along the Taiwan Strait, actually just made landfall in #Chiayi County.

Much of #Taiwan is closed for business and school on Monday, except for #Taipei, #NewTaipei, #Keelung, and #Taoyuan which will remain open. It's gonna be a "great" morning commuting in the rain for those living up north. 🤷‍♂️

New Taoyuan Metro (Green Line, not yet open) being shown at Raillog Korea by Hyundai Rotem. #hyundairotem #train #taoyuanmetro #taoyuan #metro #taiwan #railway #pufferküsser #trainspotting #trainspotter #raillogkorea

Off to #Taoyuan airport in 8.5 hours. Checked out at NYS Loft hotel right at #Taipei main station and now have some time to stroll the city. Not sure what to do yet, really.
As frustrating as the wet and cold weather has been throughout most of the last two weeks, there has been one bright spot about this stay in #Taiwan as well: I finally got some decent images of TW crested #myna #birds in #Taichung and #Taitung. So far they had always outwitted me. #travel #FarEast
