Kyoto, Autumn 2009, Part 4

I walked from our hotel just as the sun was going down. Kyoto Tower was looking nice in the early evening. I propped up against a tree for this shot, using the EF 135 F2L, which I think is my best lens.

The next morning, Tuesday, we had some time before our tour began. There is a Cafe du Monde in Kyoto Station. This station leaves most in awe at its super-modern architectural design, especially in a city know for its ancient buildings. I shot this, from my seat in the open-air Cafe du Monde, using the EF-S 10-22 F3.5/4.5.

Kyoto, Autumn 2009

I have always longed to visit Kyoto in autumn. This year, it was made possible, due to a cruise being canceled. I wasn't part of that cruise, but my wife and mother-in-law were. To help themselves get over the pain of the canceled cruise, we decided to visit Kyoto. Most of the picts that follow have already been posted on Facebook, and a few on flickr.

Here, you will see only picts, text, and an occasional quote from a Christian author or pastor. You may want to click on each photo to get the full enjoyment.

The first series were shot at Tofukuji (東福寺).

New Boots

I've had Tony Lamas off and on through the years. I even had a pair of Red Wings. This is my first pair of Luccheses. They came in yesterday.
