Shugakuin Imperial Villa panorama
8 photo-photomerged panorama of Kyoto’s Shugakuin Imperial Villa
The sky wasn’t so great for a panorama like this, as rain had been coming down in buckets and was about to begin again. I took this photo on one of the hottest and most humid days of 2013 in Kyoto. Not pleasant weather for such a pleasant place like the Shugakuin Imperial Villa.
Gwangju blue hour
Photomerged panorama of Gwangju, South Korea during the blue hour from Chonnam National University
Many times last summer I wanted to go out and take some photos, but the weather wasn’t willing. Even when it wasn’t raining cats and dogs, it would usually be so hot and humid that I would have a hard time breaking away from the corner in my apartment that had AC. But on my last night in Gwangju, Mother Nature was merciful. The rain stopped so I headed to the roof of my apartment building to take these four photos which I finally got around to merging together.
Kurehaza (呉服座) interior
Photomerged panorama of the interior Kabuki Theater known as Kurehaza (呉服座) currently on the grounds of Meiji Mura (明治村)
The exterior of this theater can be seen in my earlier post.
I wanted to sit, relax, and soak in the ambiance of this 19th Century theater, but one isn’t allowed in unless doing the tour. Once in, the tour began almost immediately so I fired these photos off in quick succession as my group headed to the stage. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to perfectly center myself or wait for the people to clear out of the way and make this photomerged shot showing more than 180 degrees of view more perfect.
Ninnaji’s South Garden (仁和寺の南庭) panorama
Photomerge of Ninna-ji’s South Garden
Kyoto, Japan
When I lived in Japan in the 1980s I didn’t get the chance to travel outside of the Tokyo and Yamanashi area. I purchased a set of postcards at the time and looked at them often. Probably half or more were from Kyoto. The only two scenes in these twenty or so postcards that I actually saw in person in the 1980s were Mt. Fuji and a Shinkansen.
Fast forward 25 years, and I was riding a bike through Kyoto stopping at any place that looked interesting without any prior research. I ended up at the entrance gate for Ninnaji and payed 500 yen. After walking around the grounds I felt a bit ripped off. Just before leaving I saw someone hand their admission ticket to a man and enter a building so I followed suit. Moments later I realized that my 500 yen was well spent. This was one of the scenes from one of those postcards I had looked at so fondly decades before! Not only that, but the place was mostly empty. Occasionally another person would wander in and gasp at the beauty of the South Garden (dantei) before heading back out, but for the most part this was my garden to meditate in by myself.
