Either Or
Either Aeron is really tall, or I'm really short.
( or I'm lying on my back on the ground, as I sometimes do to get the shot )

I popped up this morning to the bamboo grove in the Arashiyama area of Kyoto (嵐山竹やぶ) for a little project with Aeron. I hadn't been there since last December, for the dramatic lightup event they have every year.

After we were done, I took advantage of having a wide angle lens with me so lay down on the street for some skyward shots. Here's another view looking up from the ground, without Aeron's head...

One comment so far...

I haven’t even thought about Star Wars in years (other then the cost of the Lego sets), but every time I look at “Arashiyama Bamboo Grove”, I think it looks like you’re just going into hyperdrive.
