Old Wood-Veneer Siding in Kyoto

In my post the other day about my randomly photographed stroll in Kyoto, I included a photo of a mud-packed wall with badly-damaged wood-veneer siding. The picture above is the wall of the house next door, which is in much better shape.

I thought some might find it appealing as a desktop background, so under the picture I've included links to various sizes, in both standard and widescreen aspect ratios.

A wider view of the house shows a much less compelling view.

Part of the art of photography is knowing what to hide.
