At Heian Shrine

I found this reflection on the small lake of the Heian Shrine Garden in Kyoto. The red umbrella and maple leaves color caught my eyes.

Today Heian Shrine held a special ceremony for the certain tea ceremony group and many kimono ladies came to participate it.

Windy Lake Biwa

Two days ago I took this picture at the lakeside of Lake Biwa, the biggest lake in Japan. As you see, it was very windy.
Now the big typhoon #26 is approaching Japan . Hope it will swerve away from us.

Pontocho

These were taken at Pontocho Street in Kyoto. This narrow alley is always full of people at night, who wish to enjoy nice dinner. But in the morning very different.
