Tokyo Photos

Are here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24532281@N04/sets/ - because there is too many to post in with whit notes below. There is three sets so far; the Shinkansen (super fast train), Kyoto Temples and Kyoto Rock Garden.
Also some of the shots are not pro work as I was getting a handle on the camera and what not, there is a few others as well that I need to resize and make smaller to they won't take forever to download to you!


We didn't get to go into the Imperial Palace in Kyoto as you need to apply for access.
And we didn't allow enough time to go see the Monkey Park and the bamboo forest, mainly because it takes 2 hours to get up to Kyoto, and we left Tokyo a tad too late.

The temples we saw were HUGE! They are all made of wood as well. You can't get into them so we just wandered around and took some pics and admired them. Here is one shot;



I liked the rock garden a lot, there was no grass there, it is all moss. There was a few cherry blossom's coming out as you can see, and there was some of what looked like conifers that had been trimmed to be just the main trunk with a little head of needles - very neat.
A sample shot;


And this is the Shinkansen - 2 and a bit hours to travel over 500kms, it was super fast;


Go check out the sets I posted above, they will be worth it I promise! :)


More stuff later.
