Summer Daze

Flashback to the beginning of summer in Kyoto town 2013...  how come the Japanese can wear a suit in 40C+ heat and 99% humidity and seem to cope (if  a little uncomfortably) and the rest of us melt like ice blocks under a grill?? 

Anyone?

Walking In The Rain

The beautiful inconsistencies of storm light.  

The surprise gift of being caught in the rain.

The pain of new shoe blisters washed away.

Kyoto Sunsets and Rainy Days

I can't help it. To me, Kyoto is so very beautiful  - no matter the weather or time of day - but the sunsets from our rooftop (on what happens to be one of the tallest buildings in Kyoto) were such a highlight that I simply must share some snaps. 

 Watching distressed maidens trying to cross the road on a very blustery, rainy day from the protection of our apartment was also pretty cool. Just because.
