Days in the life of Snowy (aka Snowy World Tour)
-
…and we're in Kyoto. In a hotel, unlike last time here where we stayed in a traditional Ryokan. Rainy season has officially started, hoping for a few dry days in the next few (it should work out). Armed with a brolly we headed out to the bamboo forest. (Photos shot on the iPhone; my Leica needs 2 hands to operate- something I can't do whilst operating a brolly.)

It's different for sure. I like things that are a bit out there. Add something that blends tech and weirdness and it's totally me

Thanks Gav (and @Black Orchid ). It's a really beautiful place. Very nice contrast from Hiroshima too. Last time we were here all we saw were temples. Looking forward to seeing it as a city. It's got such age and history around nearly every corner.

Another bucket-list day today, thankfully, no bucketing rain. Fushimi Inari-taisha was the destination and objectives were to hike to the top AND get a photo of the crazy gates without ANYONE else in the shot - a harder task than it sounds. About a 12KM walk from the 1st gate to the top of the mountain and back down again. REALLY REALLY beautiful. I don't use the word blessed often, but if I were to, today would have been the day. After a brief freshen up back in the hotel, we stumbled around Teramachi Street for the rest of the afternoon.

That's my intention … a nice mix of cultural history and the modern urban life - Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagoya, .. for the beginning.
I was several times in Thailand and Hongkong - but Japan is a long unrealized dream on my traveling list. (It's a very expensive adventure for Europeans ^^) -
this is stunning! amazing set up. great perspective of the shot! kyoto is amazing, unfortunately i only spent a day there when i last went.

iPhone pictures today only, but not due to the rain. We climbed the world's longest span bridge(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashi_Kaikyō_Bridge). To climb the bridge everything needed to be strapped on/in securely. On top of that, the 2km round trip + 300 meter ascension. I could have made the Leica work, but wasn't sure of Wind and Salt levels, so didn't risk it. The iPhone's ended up in plastic sleeves, and at the time I also thought they'd do the same to my Leica (meaning no Range Finding). Was a great experience, but not overly photoy all in all….and I have a fear of heights, which doesn't help either ;).
