Temples, Palaces and Shrines

Kyoto reputedly includes over 400 shrines within its city limits. Temples and palaces are on top of that. A one-week visit hardly affords enough time to do justice as a tourist, but we gave it our best shot. Here are a sampling of the photos that resulted. In addition, our visit coincided with the annual Blue Dragon festival and parade at the Kiyomizu-dera Temple where we had a chance to exercise our video skillz. Please enjoy!
