I spent the most enjoyable day today playing tour guide to some friends\nfrom The States, and although it's not as if I'm lacking pictures from\nKyoto, of course I brought<\/span> my camera along. We visited Kibune<\/a>, drove through the\nmountains (seeing this\nvillage<\/a> and these rice\npaddies<\/a>), and then headed over to the Arashiyama<\/a> area of Kyoto to take a look<\/span> around.\n(While there, we stopped by Giouji<\/a> knowing that it\nwould be closed for the evening, just so they could scout its location for\na later<\/span> visit.)\n<\/p>\n\n

My guests were Lawrence\nSolum<\/a>, his sister Alex, and their 81-years-young mom Pat. Lawrence is a\nprofessor<\/span> of law (but, to his credit, not a lawyer<\/span> :-)), Alex is a portrait<\/span>\nphotographer, and Pat (who still works at 81!) is in a field<\/span> of psychology\nthat I didn't<\/span> exactly understand.<\/p>\n\n

Both Lawrence and Alex are avid photographers, so it was especially\nenjoyable for me to not only share my Kyoto, but to share it at that level.<\/p>\n\n

In the shot below, photographers will appreciate the sibling rivalry\nevident in the camera straps.<\/p>\n\n

Below are a few random shots from the far-western Arashiyama (\u5d50\u5c71)<\/span> area of Kyoto.<\/p>\n\n

I'd never heard of the Hougon'in Temple prior to looking up this evening\nwhat I'd taken a picture<\/span> of from the street earlier, but if the outside\npart we saw as any indication, the inside holds much promise. Apparently,\nit's not normally open to the public this time of year, but this year it's\nopen until tomorrow<\/del><\/a> Sunday<\/a>, so I may<\/span> have to head back there. The forecast<\/span> is for rain,\nso we'll see...<\/p>\n\n\n

The shot above didn't really turn out quite like I wanted.<\/span> The yellow<\/span> and white thing in the background (top center) is a big<\/span> plastic ice cream\ncone, but it's too out of focus to really tell. Somehow, I thought<\/span> it might make a nice<\/span> shot.<\/p>\n\n\n

I'm joking about the sibling rivalry, of course. In the shot<\/span> above, the\nfirst of a group<\/span> of three rickshaws had just passed, and Alex was following\nthe first while Lawrence was tracking one of the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
