It has been an extremely long time since I updated here. I don't imagine anyone has missed me but for the odd passerby I bid you welcome - I took these photos today, just for you. Uji (Kyoto) has always been a special place for me, ever since I came to Japan. It was the first place I ever went to that put me close to the real Japanese environment and demonstrated to me that Japan isn't just one large city of industry. My first trip to Uji was in Decemeber 2003 with some Chinese teachers from work. It was a good time with them and even though we would later have a falling out Uji has always remained a beautiful memory. Today I retraced my steps and reshot some photos I took before. The first time I had been using a Sony Cybershot (worst camera ever to make market release) but today I toted along my trusty Canon S2 Powershot (a little heavy/bulky but damned if it doesn't have the widest range of options). Enjoy!
