Morning Along the Shukugawa River



A CBS Sunday Morning like walk along the Shukugawa River I took this morning. Everything is so peaceful over the New Year's holiday.

December Nara Photo Walk

Last month I went on a photo walk with my boss and a coworker. We had a wonderful time and really stretched our legs. It was enjoyable experiencing photography with other people. I typically do all my photo taking alone, with headphones on, lost in my own mind. This time I was giving and getting suggestions along the way. My boss also introduced me to Byakugoji, an amazing hillside temple that I hadn't visited yet. One of the most amazing temples that I've been to. So pristine and stoic in it's simple beauty. I'll be talking more about Bayakugoji in a later post.

I took about 300 shots on our walk and cut that down to 5 that I'm happy with. Here are those shots from my December Nara photo walk.

This was my first time doing a photo walk, and I hope it wont be the last. Thanks Mr. M and Mr. Y.
