Everyone's a Photographer
The next shot is of one of the fusuma (sliding doors) inside the temple.
The next shot is representative of a common scene around town, with many colors mixed together.

Lotsa' Colors
The problem is getting a nice shot without wires, poles, signs, and other visual litter. Here's a wider shot of the same scene, showing that the colors extend quite a ways both directions, but so does the reach of the wires. You don't really notice the wires and such when you're there because you've long learned to tune them out, but you can't tune them out of a photo, so it's a common letdown for me to find a wonderful scene only to find that it crumbles when I try to look at it with an eye for capturing it on film.

Pretty, Sort Of
The next picture, of a monk walking under a canopy of yellow, is from outside the forsaken dorm (Kyoto University's Kumano Dorm). The lighting was a bit flat, but perhaps some of the beauty shows through.
