For the past two Thursdays I've headed out on photo expeditions to the twisty rural mountain roads of Uji City (southeast of Kyoto) with Shimada-san and Paul Barr. Today we'll switch it up and hit some mountain villages to the north of Kyoto, but I've still got so much from the earlier trips I want to post. Since we're leaving in a few minutes, I'll just post a few quick shots from the first trip, which has already yielded “Scenes From Rural Japan: Mountain Village in Uji City” and “Rural Uji's Kiyotakigyuu Shrine”, among others...

While driving through a deeply-forested mountain road, we came upon an area that was eerily bright. It was slightly surreal, but I don't think I captured the effect in the shot above.

We stopped at a trailhead and hiked for a short while...
