Thanks for sharing your colorful Kyoto so well with the rest of us who don't have the same opportunities. I have seen some beautiful sunsets, but none of them match the ones you have found for us in Kyoto. Father Mac Once again, you have captured some lovely sights in Kyoto that I have never seen.

I only had my mobile phone with me, so I took a feeble portrait of my son and thought, "I hope Jeffrey is getting this." Even your great pictures can't do it justice, though. It was ethereal.

I kind of expect to see the silhouettes of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse galloping over the horizon in some of those shots. The colors are spectacular, but I find them somewhat eerie.

Have a love-hate relationship with the Kyoto Tower. On one hand, its the most kitchy, ugliest architectural statement ever to blemish an otherwise beautiful city. But on the other hand, I have to confess I used it more than once to orient myself back in the day, while walking through the city. <span class='jfriedl'>I've heard that sentiment many times before, but I've got to admit that I don't find it that bad. It's lit up with a blueish light at night these days, and I think the "lightup" aspect makes it an attractive focal point. It's old, but then, so is the Statue of Liberty. ;-) —Jeffrey</span> Very nice shots I think. Have a love-hate relationship with the Kyoto Tower.

Haven't seen one like it since then. Unfortunately, now that I have a small clue about how to take a picture, I missed today's spectacle. Hope I don't have to wait another 5 years. Here's a pic from 2003 if that's ok to post here. <img class='raw' style='display:block' src='http://iamagoo.smugmug.com/photos/18562627_iCcBB-M-1.jpg'/> <span class='jfriedl'>Wow, that indeed does look similar. Wonderful shot! I take it that the streaks of yellow are the color-channel clipping that I mentioned in the post... it creates a look of its own, but I wish technology would advance a bit, but I suspect God will remain in the lead with respect to color rendering. —Jeffrey</span> This reminds me of a sunset in Kyoto in 2003.

This takes me back more than 10 years, to a walk I was taking by the river with my wife. Very similar clouds and lighting conditions. The best sunset I ever experienced! At the time, I was shooting film. Unfortunately, my wife wasn't as impressed as I was at the natural display and was getting hungry. She was patient for a while, then pressed to get some food. I took my pictures, then headed off to find food. As we were in line at some fast food place, I could see the sunset getting even BETTER! Turning from oranges to reds to approaching purplish ... Amazing. You did well to get the colors you did. And I've been enjoying Anthony's continuing adventures. Chris Nice shots!
