Photogenic Kyoto (again)


What year is this again?


Nice hotel, nice hotel parking lot


Hotel Room Shot

Photos of hotel rooms are almost as thrilling as photos of food. YOU weren't there, YOU didn't stay there, YOU didn't eat it, so probably: YOU don't care. Sorry about that.

The Internet That Almost Worked


Hello Granite


Conference Fees Were High For A Reason


Kyoto's Beautiful River Restaurants


Sweets Store Window


Temple Roof Plants

Not sure why my eye automatically finds plants that grow out of roofs.


San-ju sangenjou

For religious reasons, they ask that you don't take photos of the 1000 Buddhas inside. But I thought the outside, where they have an annual archery endurance contest, was rather photo-worthy itself..


Ginkakuji 1

Ginkakuji is the "silver temple", to complement Kinkakuji, the golden temple. Apparently the couldn't find enough silver to plate it. Compared to Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji is smaller, less religious, and more tea-drinkin-time-feeling. It's a Kyoto top-4 attraction.

Hi Lance,
