Kyoto

Ok so I've FINALLY put up my pictures of Kyoto. I went for the first time about a month ago and the link to the photos are posted below. Kyoto is a beautiful city rich with Japanese culture. It's really pretty there now with the leaves changing colors and will be even more breathtaking in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

The one strong memory I still have of my first trip to Kyoto was the smell of incenses at the top of a temple and hearing the cries of crows and the low hum of a gong in the distance. A woman silently prays to the left of me and to the right of me is a cemetery the stretches endlessly beyond the view of my naked eye.
