Hello all,

I'm into my second week in Japan and everything is going really well. Almost every day has been chock-a-block with one interesting happening or another, from visiting Toshimasa-sensei with my host Murata-san to climbing Mt Kurama and visiting many beautiful temples and shrines, and of course visiting Murata-sans museum at Kiyomizu-Sannenzaka.

I'm currently short on time but have created a gallery of images which hopefully you may enjoy.

Genki desu,

Jim

Hi Jim!
Thank You for the photos! Japan is so beautiful and unusual country! I like images with momiji, red maples, most of them! I've never seen such pictures! Thank You! :blush:

Hi Natasha. Yes the colors are sometimes beyond belief. Someone told me that it's as good this year as ever so I'm happy as I may never come again at this time.

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks very much Greg. I find myself framing shots almost constantly when moving about. Sometimes it results in something pleasing.
The day I went hiking with Murata-san my camera batteries ran out and I had no spare. At first I was bummed because we were coming into some very beautiful enchanted areas, but it made me forget the framing and just look, so that I can now visualize those areas quite well.

I was so happy to visit that national park wilderness to see something reminiscent of indigenous Japan. It was very intoxicating.

So I'm boarding the plane in one hour coming home.
