Jiufen in New Taipei City is a town on a hill, old houses raggedly set into the rise overlooking the sea on the north coast of the island.
Space is a priority. In the periphery residential areas, time can seem to have stood still. The basketball court pressing right against old graves climbing a hill, as if the dead themselves were waiting for the game to begin. Down the road, a stand advertising cold noodles, tea bags and photographic film.

Wow. That’s a cool observation, with the basketball court. Did you stock up on film? ;>)

No, he…

Oh my goodness! Nothing like a front row seat for the game 🙏 The haziness gives a feeling of anticipation… maybe you’ll see the highlights of a life well lived 😊 I remember visiting a nearby hillside in Taipei and discovering a similar site.
