        Great images Wade. I love Kyoto, probably my favourite place in the world.

              It's different for sure. I like things that are a bit out there. Add something that blends tech and weirdness and it's totally me 🙂

                Thanks Gav (and @Black Orchid ). It's a really beautiful place. Very nice contrast from Hiroshima too. Last time we were here all we saw were temples. Looking forward to seeing it as a city. It's got such age and history around nearly every corner.

                  Amazing pics as always! @Snowy … Kyoto is also one of my favourite targets, when I visit this beautiful country sometime. (I hope so)

                  The idea with the 3D-model ... great  😉  ... Kudos!

                    Another bucket-list day today, thankfully, no bucketing rain. Fushimi Inari-taisha was the destination and objectives were to hike to the top AND get a photo of the crazy gates without ANYONE else in the shot - a harder task than it sounds. About a 12KM walk from the 1st gate to the top of the mountain and back down again. REALLY REALLY beautiful. I don't use the word blessed often, but if I were to, today would have been the day. After a brief freshen up back in the hotel, we stumbled around Teramachi Street for the rest of the afternoon.

                      Thanks @Finkster. Highly suggest you get to Kyoto, skip the Ryokans stay @ a nice hotel for a few days, and go see some crazy sights. A combination of ancient world, and utterly modern a stone's throw a part is just amazing.

                          That's my intention … a nice mix of cultural history and the modern urban life - Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagoya, .. for the beginning.  🙂
                          I was several times in Thailand and Hongkong - but Japan is a long unrealized dream on my traveling list. (It's a very expensive adventure for Europeans ^^)

                                  iPhone pictures today only, but not due to the rain. We climbed the world's longest span bridge(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashi_Kaikyō_Bridge). To climb the bridge everything needed to be strapped on/in securely. On top of that, the 2km round trip + 300 meter ascension. I could have made the Leica work, but wasn't sure of Wind and Salt levels, so didn't risk it. The iPhone's ended up in plastic sleeves, and at the time I also thought they'd do the same to my Leica (meaning no Range Finding). Was a great experience, but not overly photoy all in all….and I have a fear of heights, which doesn't help either ;).

                                    Tomorrow Mrs Snowy has not decided if we're heading down to the gardens in Okayama or going shopping up in Kyoto. Her call. Either way should be more photos (and likely me getting a cut-throat shave)

                                        Ended up being a shopping day AND raining day. Managed to get a few photos out before the rain. The first few photos (water/bridge shots) are from yesterday…

                                          Thanks @Black Orchid. She's not the most comfortable in front of the camera unfortunately.

                                            honestly speaking. from shooting multiple events in the past, that's usually where the essence of the photo come from. too comfortable and the composition of the image doesn't feel right.
