It looks pretty, but it sure looks like a walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night would be scary - one step to the left, and bye bye! Yikes!

I did have my SB-800 flash with me, but totally forgot about it until I came home and found it while unpacking.

Another thing I wish I would have done was take the picture earlier, as I describe on my Kyoto Cherry-Blossom Lightup, 2008 post. —Jeffrey
