After taking this photo in one of the parking lots in Downtown, I immediately think of that story I read when I was a kid: Frog in the Well.
Basically, the story is about the ignorant frog who lives down in the well and fails to realize how big the world really is. In addition, he is too ignorant that he cannot accept others' idea that things outside the well is better. He believes what he sees in the well is already the best.
This also applies to photography where we sometimes fail to see the bigger picture and get bottleneck in certain area. I sometimes fall into this trap and fail to admit my limited vision.

I always pass by this bridge from time to time but I rarely have the opportunity to stop down as I always drive across this bridge. This time, I decided to park my car aside and take my time to walk across the bridge.
This bridge has changed quite a bit. The most noticeable change is the fence. I heard it was added to prevent people from jumping off the bridge. But I am still happy that the bridge itself still has that classic European look :)

As soon as I took a walk of the church and took a couple of photos, I felt like this one is my favorite because of the patterns, colors, and the lighting. Everything blended together so well that I cannot stop looking at it.
The biggest challenge for me, especially architecture photo, is to make sure the photo is aligned perfectly. It took me awhile to get the result I want :D

Why visit and photograph abandoned or forgotten places? Why have I concentrated my attention on places abandoned by humankind and travelled thousands of kilometres each year to bring back photographs of them? Must a passion necessarily be explained to be shared? Because sharing is indeed what this is all about: sharing the emotions I had when I discovered places of worship that exist in harmony with the ruins of time.
Francis Meslet’s book is an unparalleled testimony to these places. He brings us rare and touching images of our history, our beliefs, our hopes, and our fears. This is an invitation to dream. Each photograph is not only an image in time, every single picture is a guide book, to which we hold the keys deep within us. It is up to us to turn the pages and let ourselves be led by our imagination on a journey through the centuries, while soaking up the poetry and simple beauty of these places roused from their great slumber.

Kinkakuji, also known as the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, was actually not as golden as it looked right now. It was recovered in pure gold leaf to make it more appealing. This is probably one of the spots where you will see tons of people and cameras at once. You can even buy a post card with exactly the same composition because there isn't any space for you to observe this temple in different angles.
Some people in forum suggested the Kinkakuji will look the best when it is a cloudy day as you can get the water reflection out. Unfortunately, I didn't have such weather but it is still good to come to see this temple in person. It looks nice indeed, but not as stunning as I hoped.

I came here with a huge expectation as this district is well-known for anime, manga, and cosplayers. As soon as I got there, I felt like I am living in a different world.
Pretty much everything here is otaku related. I walked into few department stores to check out manga and figures. Maybe I got older and not really into manga these days, I didn't really get anything. Surprisingly, I didn't see as many cosplayers as I had hoped.
