The clearing is where the fires are lit during the Daimonji Festival each August, as covered in\n“<\/span>Daimonji: Kyoto\u2019s Least-Photogenic Festival<\/a>”<\/span>, and in\nits photographic rebuttal “<\/span>Daimonji Fire Festival Up Close and Personal: Yaron Silberberg\u2019s Photos from Last Year<\/a>”<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n

It's a simple hike<\/a> to the clearing, though perhaps more challenging with slippery snow.<\/p>\n\n

I tend to like this kind of frosty-cold-with-sharp-detail image, though my favorite is probably the photo seen exactly nine\nyears ago today in “<\/span>Snowy\nMountains<\/a>”<\/span>. At first<\/span> glance it's a boring<\/span>\nphoto, but I find<\/span> it to be interesting at full, sharp resolution.<\/p>\n\n

Also in the same realm is “<\/span>Bridge\nOver Icy Water<\/a>”<\/span>, which then itself made a reappearance<\/span> as a print<\/span> in\n“<\/span>Dabbling in Some Fine-Art Printing for\nMy Office<\/a>”<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
