Vancouver House quickly becomes one of the landmarks in Vancouver due to its unique shape. It always remind me of the jenga. I always wonder how can they possibly come up with this shape and idea.
Because of the pandemic, I spend most of the time at home during the day. The only time I go out is pretty much late at night. Actually shooting at night is pretty fun as I really enjoy that peacefulness.

The centre of Yasaka Shrine is where most paper lanterns are hanged. Each paper lantern is inscribed with the name of the donor to express their gratitude to the shrine.
There are more than 400 paper lanterns in just this wooden stage of the Yasaka Shrine. There are more throughout other areas of the shrine. No wonder this shrine is one of the most popular shrines in Kyoto! :)

Dzisiaj Sesyjka w takim budynku... 😉🇪🇸🌴
Może nie najwyższy i nie najajpiękniejspzy- ale stoi w pierwszej lini przy plaży 👌. Mega lubię takie swobodne kadry - tym bardziej, że architektura Benidormu pozwala na wiele ❤️
Na IG niebawem cała sesja, włącznie z basenem na dachu tego Apartamentowca, oraz spory BackStage podczas fotografowania😎
The Floating Garden is actually quite big. You can observe Osaka from either lower deck (indoor) or upper deck (outdoor). After reading all the forum, everyone recommends to skip the lower deck and go straight for upper deck. They were right. The view was just amazing. This is the place where tripod is allowed and I really regret not bringing one. This is where my X-H1 comes in handy haha~
This floating garden really looks like a giant donut and I am still amazed the design of this building. It is unbelievable...

First off, I just sold my Fujifilm X-T2. I guess my future photos in December will be on X-H1. Many people on my IG asked me if I am going to get the new X-T3 as a replacement. As for now, I am not sure yet.
One thing I really enjoy using X-H1 is definitely the IBIS. In Japan, I could hardly use my tripod simply because many temples prohibited the use of monopod and tripod; some places even ban selfie sticks. In low light situation, IBIS really comes in very handy.

This spot will be perfect if cherry blossom is blooming. Unfortunately, the time I went was winter so all the leaves were gone.
But nonetheless, doing a long exposure here is still not bad as the clouds became so silky :) I am satisfied with this shot...

My last stop in my Kyoto was Nijō Castle. I was planning to go a few more temples but the temperature was just too hot so I decided this will be my final stop before heading to Osaka.
Nijō Castle is extremely well known because it was the home of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Shogun in Japan. Back in the days, shogun was the ruler of the country as he possessed a lot of power. Other clans and their fedual lords would have to listen to the shogun and be prepared to be summoned when needed.

Our next stop was the Fisgard Lighthouse which is only couple minutes drive from Hatley Castle. I was planning to come here for the sunset but our schedule was too tight that coming back at sunset would not be ideal. This lighthouse is connected to Fort Rodd Hill which a very cheap entrance fee.
At the beginning, I was told that I could go into the lighthouse. I was so excited at first but I realized that they blocked half way through so you could only go into the red part of the lighthouse, not the top of it. Even though I was a bit disappointed but the view here is amazing :)

For the last day in Kyoto, we decided to go one more temple before heading to Osaka. Out of many temples I didn't go, I randomly picked Nanzenji as there are so many beautiful ones in Kyoto; it is almost impossible to go to a bad one.
Nanzenji isn't one of the five great Zen temples in Kyoto but it is still considered one of the best in the city. Many people come to this temple for the Sanmon (front gate) as it is pretty gigantic; it is almost as big as the one in Chion-ji. The nice thing about this temple is that you can go up the Sanmon gate and get a view of its surrounding. It is very beautiful indeed. In addition, the back garden of Nanzen-ji is quite unique as it is mixed with Japanese and Western culture.

After I arrived to Arashiyama station, I decided to visit Togetsu-kyo (渡月橋) first before heading to the bamboo forest.
The translation of this bridge is called the "Moon Crossing Bridge". The view from there was amazing. I felt like I was in one of the movies from Studio Ghibli. Since it was still early in the morning, there weren't many people at all so all I can hear was the sound of river. If I had time, I could spend hours just to chill here :)

After visiting the keep, we went to another section of the Himeji Castle, the Wo No Yagura Tower. This is where all the soldiers defend the castle.
Throughout this hallway, you get to see both inside and outside of the castle. There are many displays where you can learn about the history of the castle, including some of the weapons they use during that time.
