Kyoto, what a wonderful city. So much more relaxing than Tokyo.

It also helps that it is a very walkable city.

A lot of the famous Japanese images of the shrines and gardens come from Kyoto. You won’t find any here! Yes I did see them and they were beautiful but what I took may do justice to a tourist brochure but not this website (bloody snob…..). I was busy chasing Kimonos , not to wear but to photograph.

However there were lots of imposters walking around especially Chinese mainland tourists in costume for a day. Cosplay? But the ones I got were genuine and they spoke Japanese. You know the expression- If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck!

What do I do when I’m in Holiday in my second most favourite city in the world?

Shopping in Apliu St ( usb-c cables, memory cards , China made photo accessories)

Eating all my favourite foods (1000 year old eggs, preverved sausage rice hotpots , shanghai food, roast pidgeon)

Street Photography- Only because I’ve done my shopping for the day and I’m holding my camera with time to spare…

The G9 is a great camera for street photography.
