As the snowfall from the previous day still remained on the temple's roof (previous photo) and hedgerows, I thought I would see more snow in higher elevation. I headed straightly to Kiyomizu Temple and saw this view from its precinct. The temple is located halfway up in one of the mountains surrounding the Kyoto Basin. The trees in the foreground of the cityscape were still covered in snow. By this time, the snow in the city had all melted (though it might not look like so in this photo).
清水寺から眺めた京都の雪景色。
There is so much beautiful things hapening all the time in kyoto, and yet the atmosphere feels relax and peacefull.
I'm sorry I had no time to check out your pictures for three weeks. But my trip to Europe ended safely. The exhibition "Double Attractions" in Charleroi is going well and I finished preparing for Unseen Photo Fair in Amsterdam. It's just time to take/make new pictures :)
(In Kyoto)
Kyōto Station
The current Kyoto Station was designed by architect Hiroshi Hara, and it opened in 1997 which commemorated Kyoto's 1,200th anniversary. It is 70 meters high and 470 meters from east to west, with a total floor area of 238,000 square meters. Architecturally, it exhibits many characteristics of futurism, with a slightly irregular cubic façade of plate glass over a steel frame. During the mid-1990s, Kyoto was one of the least modern cities in Japan by virtue of its many cultural heritage sites, so locals were largely reluctant to accept such an ambitious structure. However, the station's completion began a wave of new high-rise developments in Kyoto that culminated in the 20-story Kyocera Building.
