Before heading back to the hotel, I had to make a stop to the President Hall Plaza. It is a place that I always pass by when visiting Taipei and always missed.
Most of the major events are always hosted here (National Day). I always see a lot of beautiful photos taken here with the plaza as the background. Even though there wasn't anything happening during my stay, it was still nice to come and see this in person.

Whenever I drive pass by Vancouver City Hall, I always told myself I have to come here for some night photography. Unfortunately, I gave myself too many excuses not to come and explore this area until this weekend.
I find Vancouver City Hall at night is actually more prettier than it was during the daytime. It is a well-known landmark in the area and also a popular location for filming.

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! :)

Just a little small decoration on your famous "golf ball" When I took this photo, I shot another one that is out of focus with only bokeh balls.
Then when I processed the shot, I combined both shots and showed only the bokeh balls on the science world. The result comes out to be better than I expected. Have a great weekend everyone :)!

As soon as I entered the church, I was shocked because it is tremendously beautiful. The architecture of this building is truly amazing. This is probably the first church I had been to that gave me this feeling.
I was actually surprised not many people came here for a visit. One of the staff greeted us and told us we are free to walk around, take photos, and explore the church.

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 :)

The Lions Gate Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Vancouver. It is also one of the major bridges that is heavily used everyday. In comparison to many bridges in Vancouver, it is probably the prettiest with all these lights at night.
When I finished taking photos on Cypress Mountain, I decided to make a stop near the Lions Gate Bridge and get a closer look. Damn! it is very pretty...this shot is edited through Capture One Pro 12. I think one of the advantages with Capture One is that you can pull a little bit more details...which is good for Fujifilm RAW files :)
