My mom, godmother and I went on an impromptu tour of Kyoto. I had previously only been to Kyoto once when I was little, having spent most of my time in Tokyo. So it was really neat to see the difference in cultures between the two regions. We shall now commence with photography from Japan! :)
This was in the front of the tour bus. I really liked seeing it, since t was a nice contrast to the freezing cold outside.

Even without reading the description I had an oriental feeling to this shot.

Differential focus and the theme of blue makes this very special.

A special flower! I see so many pictures from Japan and the two Chinas showing objects and situations with a symbolic meaning we don't know about in Europe, so this time again Ithink, or is it just a nice flower wrapped in a special way? I find it a beautiful view and the blurred shapes and colors of the background match wonderfully with the flower with its wrapped feet.
