One of my favourite things about spending time in Kyoto is the way that women dress in traditional kimono and wander the old part of the city on a Sunday. Its a wonderful way to keep tradition alive. I happened to be walking behind this young girl at the Heian Shrine and was trying to get the light and angle “just right”. As I was about to give up the planets aligned and here is the photograph! I’m just glad she didn’t see me…she would have thought I was crazy!
