Shadowy Sidewalk

On the walk up to the lighthouse in the picture from before -- I love the contrast of light and dark.

Lighthouse

Lighthouse in Nomozaki -- just south of Nagasaki city. I love the clouds -- they look painted on. This is the day after the typhoon "came" through Nagasaki. We couldn't have asked for better weather this day.

Pyramid of Lights

A pyramid of lights in the water at Canal City in Fukuoka for Tanabata celebrations.

Heian Jingu

Thought I would post a picture from the actual shrine (see sakura picture below from the same place). Isn't it wonderfully elaborate??

More Sakura

A gorgeous strain of sakura (cherry blossoms) at Heian Jingu in Kyoto.

Garden

One of the gardens at the Imperial Palace in Kyoto on a dreary day. I love how so much is going on in this picture (so many types of shizen), but it all comes together to create an intricate garden shot.
