sanzen-in temple, ohara. kyoto japan.

a little jetlagged, we staggered up to the top of the building. the air still warm, cool well dressed japanese couples swarmed around the viewing deck. it seemed like we were the only tourists.

we watched planes land at kansai airport, a few even passed between me and the moon. the city below us was unfamiliar, no recognisable buildings or landmarks that we could use to get our bearings. the start of a wonderful adventure.
