While visiting the Kiyomizu Temple complex, we were lucky to walk into two traditionally dressed Geisha girls which were posing for some ’real photographers’.
One of the next days, we witnessed the beginning of wedding in traditional Japanese clothing.
That’s it for now!

The Golden Pavilion. This is one of sacral places Japanese schoolchildren visit during their education. Although this magnificent building is located in the middle of a park at the shore of a lake, due to the overflow of visitors it is rather hectic than quiet over there.
The same was true for Kiyomizu Temple complex. Many many schoolbusses had dropped off kids over there. Nevertheless, the wide green environment with nice and well-maintained footpaths allows one to escape the crowd.
A close up shot of one of the beautifully colored buildings of the Kiyomizu Temple complex to end with.

A lot (and I really mean ‘a lot’) of travel pictures are waiting for me to select and process them. Time is the issue…
But I am glad to say that I finally managed to go through the pictures I took in Japan last year! I spent a couple of days in Kyoto for other business, but ‘before and after’ I had the chance to visit some of the magnificent temples and pavilions in the green surroundings of this big city.
certainly more to come!

Three more pictures I took enjoying the wonderful landscape created by Mr. Frost. This time I focused on the remaining snowflakes which were hardly trying to balance on the twigs and to withstand the morning sun.

with my new Sigma Macro lens (150mm/2.8).
I was looking (read:gazing) already a while for a real macro lens. After reading a couple of reviews (among other the one from Sam Mannaerts), I decided to go for the Sigma 150mm which should combine ultimate sharpness and a nice DOF.
Here are some results of my first experience outside with this wonderful piece of glass!

After ‘part 1′, we went on to a very nice green environment. A calm, unstressfull atmosphere in which Nele and Joris fully enjoyed being together.
I was honored to be an eye witness, and.. I ‘m willing the share!
hope you enjoy

Few pics from the first ‘part’ of the wedding shoot which we started nearby the little, but very cosy chapel in the picturesque village Gestel.
