Buying lunch to go and see the cherry blossom in Kyoto

koji · Expire: 2012-12-27

This is the exactly same time (erarly April) in the last year in Kyoto, camera
was Nikon D700, lens was AF-S NIKKOR 24/1.4G ED. (F1.4 to mostly F4.8 )

1. Buying rice balls with seaweed wrapping at NISHIKI market in central Kyoto

2. Different angle

3. going through in front of a nearby lunch restaurant

4. Another shopping for protein (one of Canadian friend said japanese food is basically protein diet!)

5. Yet another shopping (women love the shopping of course)

6. You may need chinese medicine if you eat a lot

7. Finally we saw cherry blossom at HARADANI-EN outskirt of city Kyoto (it is a private property, but they reduced the entrance fee due to late in season!!)

8. Of course eating lunch and another talk while enjoying under the cherry blossom (japanese love to do this)

9. But without seeing people it is hard to shoot a nice scene

10. So aimed to sky

11. And see far a way to avoid people in your shot

12. See what I said (this is always happening no matter where you go at the season in japan, no way to avoid it.)
