Even More Kyoto

The Philosopher's Walk
The Kyoto Station, while it is pretty it is also pretty darned chilly.
My Shinkansen arriving to whisk me home to Shizuoka.
The most beautiful tree (have you seen one with more character?) at the Imperial Park.
The entrance of Nijo Castle.
The outer wall and moat of Nijo Castle.
Inside Kenninjo Temple.
The outside of Kenninjo Temple which is of the Zen persuasion. It is also my favourite temple of all the ones I saw over the week. I wanted to move into the monk's quarters.

More Kyoto -

Some more happy snaps from my Kyoto trip...which coincidentally coincided with cherry blossom blooming time.
The famous Ryoanji Temple...and it's Zen rock garden.
The Golden Pavilion in all it's sparkly magnificence.
The Maruyama Park cherry blossom tree - which I would love to marry.
People eating under the cherry blossoms and lights at Maruyama Park.
Wouldn't you like to take a stroll down this lane in Gion (aka Geisha-ville).
Two gentlemen that won my heart.
Beautiful blossoms.

More to come....
