Steep stone steps

I came across these stone steps around Yoshida Jinja Shrine in Kyoto.

Overpass at night

There was nobody walking on the pedestrian bridge at night.

Lonely swing

This lonely swing was waiting for children to come and play at a park at Yoshidayama in Kyoto.

Napping at an alleyway

This cat was peacefully taking a nap at an alleyway in the centre of Kyoto.

On the roof

This grey heron was taking care of his face on the roof of a temple gate by Shirakawa River.

Along the river

It's pleasing to walk along Shirakawa River seeing tasteful old and new houses.

Black dragonfly

I happened to find this black dragonfly by Shirakawa River when I was taking a stroll in Kyoto on a fine autumn day.

Spring in full bloom

I happened to find this marvellous cherry tree around Byodoin Temple but you can see cherry blossoms everywhere in Japan when they are blooming.

A fine day

I took this picture around Uji Station of Keihan Railway when I visited Byodoin Temple on 7th April. Note that the green train is of JR (Japan Railway).

Rail trip in autumn

Eizan Railway takes you to Kifune Jinja Shrine or Kuramadera Temple and gives you a wonderful view of autumn trees.
