Since I don’t get to travel as much as I dream about, I enjoy seeing images and videos posted by others. The video below is no exception. I have been watching the work of this artist, known as darwinfish105 on YouTube for a while now. I can say that his work has been getting better with each video he produces.

Here is an example of his work. Showing the “Cherry Blossoms at Hamarikyu Gardens”. I hope you enjoy the virtual stroll through the garden. Let him know what you think by leaving a comment / subscribing to his works.
