Hello Folks!
This of course does this country and culture no justice, but I was lucky to be invited to a conference in Kyoto and in my one day of sightseeing on a cold drizzly day, shots these images that I am sharing with you. Japan is of course, a gorgeous place and Kyoto is its crown jewel, so I wish I could've stayed on and seen more. Next time, I hope!
Always happy to hear any genuine C&C!
I believe these ladies are referred to as Maiko, or apprentice geishas. We saw quite a few around temples. This particular maiko, who I find strikingly good-looking, even otherwordly, was posing for people with a reflector dish and some big lenses. I guess I was a bit of a gate-crasher.
A bit of a street scenery on the way to Kiyomizu temple.
More maiko, processed in a dreamy antique sort of a way. Not to everyone's taste I suspect.
Some modern art in Kosatsu station (near Kyoto).
Refineries and factories on the way from Osaka to Kyoto.
Mountains of Japan from the plane.
Thank you for viewing!
