Dan in Japan!
Sorry I was slow to post the pics, but here they are …
A few weeks ago I had to leave the country due to visa limitations, so I decided to take a quick hop over to Japan. I visited Osaka and Kyoto and had a great time, even though three days is, of course, way too short. In any case, I hope you enjoy the pictures. If you like nature shots, I recommend jumping straight to section #4, “Kyoto - Around Nanzen-ji.” I thought I was going there too late in the season to get good color on the trees, but it turns out I was wrong. The trees were quite nice.
I’ve added most of the comments already, but plan to add a few more. In any case, enjoy.
