Gion at night - mysterious rickshaw!
This reminds me of the blurred shot I took in McleodGanj last year with the prayer wheels. I'd just bought my new camera and K and I were trying out all sorts of shots and this was done with my new found friend, "night mode".

Kinkakuji Temple, Kyoto
Funnily enough, this is the Golden Temple in Kyoto...amazingly covered in gold leaf and a restoration as they keep burning down temples in Japan to show their strength of faith! Love the reflection - we got here really early so it was so wonderful and quiet.

Prayers, Wishes and Dreams
There is so much repetition in Japan of shapes and forms...these are for prayers and wishes and hang outside some of the temples.. I think this was in Tokyo...I saw so many temples I can't remember!

Lying back and looking at the bamboo
Kieran and Takuro take a break in Shuzenji....it was funny, once we started to lie down and look at the bamboo everyone else followed suit.

Shinjuku by night
Ahh - the bright lights of crazy Shinjuku...a busy shopping night as is every night. The sensory overload is amazing!

Glorious buddha
I love the gourd shaped votives...I have so many pictures of these. This buddha was off to the side of the main temple and in a peaceful spot.
