Kyoto in Black and White
Similar to the Paris in HDR post I did last September, I thought I would share a series of Kyoto photos Mr. Misadventures and I took in black and white because sometimes an image just begs to be presented that way!
All these photos are from various temples we visited during our week-long stay. There are 2000 temples and shrines, too many to see in a lifetime, but so worth trying!

Everything is so orderly in Japan. It's like the Switzerland of Asia. Or maybe that is Singapore. Not sure. All I can say is that I love it!
Everything has a sense of purpose. Such deep history and traditions. It is so interesting to watch people visiting the temples, to observe the rituals they carry out.
Whether it is wishes or prayers.
Or other customs.
I find it all incredibly beautiful and comforting.
How about you? Do you like black and white photography? What is your favorite subject matter to photograph in black and white?

Yes, I am a francophile, but after that, I love Japan, especially the food! I have been to Tokyo many times, and spent 2 weeks in Kyoto and a week in Osaka exploring and eating!
I love black and white photography. Mostly old mansions/buildings, but I also like animals taken in black and white.
I do like black and white. Beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing.
I love spending time in Japanese temples and shrine. These shots are beautiful in B&W!
