    olfactory sense would add to the calm…
    lavender has that reputation…

This photo was taken in 2008 when I traveled alone in Hokkaido, Japan. These fields of lavender are famous subjects of photography in the area and the rolling hills and farm lands really are quite lovely in all 4 seasons. Recently we revisited this image and rediscovered it when Mina was looking for a calming image to help her through labor and I was searching for an image that would look sharp in a square frame.
