Here are some samplings of Sakura photos I took in Kyoto and Tokyo..I enjoyed the walk along the 'Philosopher- Walk" in Kyoto trying to figure somethings "New" out of my life when I had a "Lone" walk with the ...

Hi Can you do me a favor? I'm reading an educational English book,called " New Interchange" written by "Jack C.Richards" in the first book of the series titled as " Intro" , in the student's book , page 15, there is a picture of a 2-storied building in Kyoto which looks like a temple with trees around it, and also a circular tower-like structure by the temple. Can you tell me the name of this place?

One of the best sites I've ever seen. Japan is a very beautiful country with its pride, "Sakura" flowers blooming everywhere

Hi,Gaojun, thank you so much for sharing these beautiful pictures. I am really enjoy of it! Though I have been to Japan twice before, but never in the Sakura season. What a pity! I do hope I can go there again in April to see the flower. Thanks.

Thanks for invitation!
This album is pretty cool, "WHITE" and "SAKURA NIGHT" are my favourite photos. I'd like to see in Your albums more photos including technology. I mean more skycreepers, some roads and railways, everything that is around human life. I see U prefer artistic photography, I like it too! But if U can and want to, You would take some modern photos with a little piece of technology :-)

Hi Gaojunn,
Nice peaceful pics, such a quiet & tranquil place. Taking a stroll in such a place does makes one immersify in "deep thoughts" & forget about all the worries & hassles of life even just for a short time. Hope you'll post more pics 'coz your photos are always BEAUTIFUL!!! Like them all here especially the "old tree & sailing." Nice green lake!

So much to see...and so little time (and money)! Thank you, Gao Jun. Your beautiful photographs have seduced me! I have added sakura viewing and sake sampling on my list for next Spring in Kyoto.
