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. 

Bird's eye view of Kyoto

There are many things  I love about Kyoto but sometimes its the simple things,  like the view from our window or Kyoto rooftop, which instantly sends me into a deeply relaxed and appreciative state. We are fortunate to be currently residing in one of the taller apartments in Kyoto - a city which is predominantly low-rise - for which I am both grateful and astounded. This ain't Tokyo people. But, sadly,  its only for a short time as we move again later in the year. I intend to make the most of this little luxury - especially over summer when we will be able to clearly see the brightly burning kanji in the mountains of Kyoto during Obon -Daimonji being the closest. 

I invite you to share the skies, rooftops, mountains and cityscape of Kyoto from my special vantage point. I shall keep adding to this intermittently.
