Kyoto's main river. Notice the large bird in the sky, actually there were about ten of these flying round us on a bridge. 

I got to really try out my new camera on this trip. I think this bird is called a Kite.

This is the closest I came to taking the picture of a real Geisha although two of them did pass me by no the street for one surreal moment near Gion.
