Oideyasu! Please take off your shoes.
You can see Hiei-zan in the background toward the right. This picture was taken a few hours ago (typhoon No. 10 approaching and looking mean) from Kamo Oohashi. Aoi-bashi is the bridge that crosses the promontory. The area between the rivers is called Shimogamo, and contains the famous Shimogamo Shrine (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the forest of which hasn't been altered in 1400 years, despite being in the city proper. I find it very spooky and powerful.
I love the latern in the foreground. COuld you take it in B&W? I think the shading and texture would be awesome.
