Kyoto - Temples, Palaces and Shrines
Today I spent the day with an all day bus pass and a map intent on seeing as many of the wonders of Kyoto as possible. So, without further adu, I give you: Kiyomizu Temple (first and seconf picture), Kyoto Imperial Palace (third and forth picture) and Kinkakuji Temple (sixth picture).
There's heaps of other stuff that I don't have time to write about now and even more that I didn't get to see. I really should of set aside at least two days, preferably three or four to do Kyoto justice. I'll write more when I have time but at least I got the pictures up this time!
Please leave comments so that I know there are people reading this!

Yes, I'm reading your blog, Richard. I have an almost exactly similar picture of Kinkakuji from 1971. Dad.

Just a random question, who are you getting to take your picture whenever you feature in a photo? Just random Japanese people?
Nice photos, Ive been to all of those but the Golden Temple. My folks have the exact same picture. Hope you partook in the Buddhist customs, I remember one of them having a fountain you could drink from with infrared steralised cups

.....the Kyoto Palace - was this where the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu lived - i.e. the leader of Japan in Civilization II to IV?

I don't know about infra red steralised cups, but there was very good mountail water to be had from one of the temples. Yes, I just got random Japanese people to take most of the photos of me but some I took by use of the time delay switch and my tripod.
