Monkeys, Bamboo in Kyoto











The first weekend in my recent visit to Japan kicked off on a high note in the Arashiyama section of Kyoto. Free-roaming Japanese monkeys, bamboo, and geishas...all in their natural habitat. I'm nervous about photographing geishas -- afraid that their pimps will come after me and destroy my camera. Geisha-spotting in the Gion district at night while they're making house calls in neighborhoods that feel 500 years old is a great way to spend an evening. But, alas, I have no pics of this, so you'll have to settle for free-roaming monkeys and tall bamboo groves. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
