Picks from the Pics - Kyoto

Picture intensive post. Full set of pictures in Kyoto here


Street shot. Note the steep slope! - Along the streets along Chawan-zaka (Teapot lane)


Sketching - a common sight in Kyoto


Kiyomizu-dera pagoda - massive amount of japanese kids visit this place


Group shot - many schoolkids have their class photos taken in front of the pagoda


Ishibei-koji - A cobbled alley lined up with traditional japanese inns and restaurants. tucked away from the crazy tourist crowd.


Japanese Lady in traditional wear - She was so elegant and polite..and what a perfect pose!


Walked up to this canal and walked along the narrow path, very serene and many mozzies


Nanzen-ji Oku-no-in - a small shrine hidden in a forested hollow behind the main precinct. Pilgrims pray while standing under the waterfall, sometimes in the dead of winter.


Beautiful Path - Along the Tetsugaku-no-michi (Path of Philosphy)


Resting - with my rented bike for 500Yen/day


Me with my huge backpack - I look like a turtle
