Denver to Japan - Memories

 

Here we have organized photos and videos that help us remember this wonderful trip.

There were well over 1000 photos taken. I have taken the liberty of selecting samples and arranging them chronologically, and then I also gathered some photos grouped by some kind of common theme or aesthetic, and then there are some videos available.

Originally I built photo albums with thumbnail pictures that linked to the full image; but these proved to require too much bandwidth: my browser kept running out of memory and it took a long time to download each page.

Instead, I decided to build pages with links to photos. If you want to see a photo, click on the link and it will be downloaded. Much more manageable.

There are similar issues with video. In this case, I put links to all the videos on a separate page embedded in controls to help run the videos. Warning: the Media Library page takes a long time to load.
