These aew some beautiful photos, and the variety of subjects and types of shots was quite nice to see, too!

Like Damien, I, too, like the “Dusk Over Kyoto” shot. Those appear to be crows going through their evening ritual of milling about as they all congregate to descend on their nightly roosting place. With their loud calling and cawing, I suppose that’s where the name “a murder of crows” came from, as in “a flock of geese” or a “charm of finches”. Probably also some basis for “screaming bloody murder.”
