A Long But Photogenic November in Kyoto

November was a busy month for photo outings for me here in Kyoto. I took 8,954 photos during the month, though perhaps 1,500 of those were in the pursuit of wigglegrams. Still, that leaves about 7,500 to wade through, a task I will probably never complete.

Here's one photo from each place I went with the camera during the month, in chronological order. The “nearby photos” link under each photo brings you to other photos taken in the same area, perhaps on the same outing as the photo in question, or from other outings throughout the seasons...

I'm going to take it easy for a while, though the layer of snow implied by the current forecast for tomorrow morning may make relaxation impossible. We'll see...

You have some beautiful photos in this batch. I particularly like “Shrouded” – it reminds me of the scenes you’d come across in a Final Fantasy game. Very nicely done.

I agree with David…”Shrouded” was one of my favorites too. So many good ones….hard to choose.

Hi Jeffery! My interest is piqued by your photos of Honen’in Temple, I hope you will share a few more of that place. J.

Great images, and nice that you have organized them according to their dates.

All comments are invisible to others until Jeffrey approves them.

Please mention what part of the world you're writing from, if you don't mind. It's always interesting to see where people are visiting from.

IMPORTANT:I'm mostly retired, so I don't check comments often anymore, sorry.
