Atop the Mountain	[ index| x010100 , 150905 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama I just found this shrine in the hills behind the office. I like it, but I have no idea what it means, or what purpose it has.

Shrine Gaurdians	[ index| x010100 , 150905 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama I don't know why but this really reminded me of indiana jones, you know raiders of the lost ark-ish??

Giant Fish	[ index| x000100 , 150907 ]
City: Toyama This guy was about the size of a human femur, fully clad with flesh. Maybe its koi? This was taken in the moat surrounding Toyama castle.

Toyama Castle	[ index| x010100 , 150907 ]
City: Toyama This is just a cool picture. look how tight and tidy the whole structure is.

Rice Steps and Jokou	[ index| x001100 , 150909 ]
City: Mozumi/Toyama Unfortunately I was waved onward by the workers (and by a honk from behind) so this photo is a little blurred with motion - abunai! Anyway, not a *terrible* shot of a rice stepped mountainside and the yellow flag meaning yield litterally slowly-go.

Gion Crane	[ index| x000100 , 150911 ]
City: Kyoto Location: Gion A bad picture of a nice scene in the Gion district.

Daimonji Mountain	[ index| x010100 , 150911 ]
City: Kyoto This was taken from the imperial compound. The starfish shape on the mountain is the japanese character for big/giant.

Lanterns in Gion	[ index| x010100 , 150911 ]
City: Kyoto Location: Gion All of the shops with the red lanterns are various tea houses and restaraunts where geisha still entertain today. I waited here for a long time hoping to see a real one, but never did. Despite the poor quality of the photo, it was an interesting scene.

Peaceful Stream	[ index| x010100 , 150911 ]
City: Kyoto Location: Gion A very quiet and relaxing stream in the Geisha district of gion.

Cool!	[ index| x010100 , 150911 ]
