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.

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!
