Gion, Kyoto, Japan. I absolutely loved strolling the quiet streets of Gion in the light rain. I hope to return again in the near future to explore more of this magical place.

Tokyo by night

There was this fantastic pulsing sculpture lit up and morphing into different colors. I put my camera down and set the timer for 8 seconds. You can barely see in this smaller version but there was a man sitting perfectly still by the base.

A stroll through Gion, Kyoto, Japan.

I absolutely loved walking around the glistening, rain-soaked streets of Gion in the evening. More to come.

Kyoto, Japan

Obviously I’d prefer if you view this one in the larger size (click through the photo or here’s the direct link).

Taken in Kyoto, Japan, handheld in the rain. You may see this girl again in other photos which I’ll upload in the future, as I had previously asked her if I could take her portrait. I took a lot of photos in Japan based around different series and themes but still have yet to figure out a good way to display them.

By the way, this is what, the 10th photo from Japan that I’ve uploaded? Only 3,500 more to go through.
