Fantastic pics Shinpachi, love them! Nature in Japan is very beautiful I've seen. Always liked the language, you have a very colourful language... Like Yuzuki: "Evening Moon", Asakaze: "Wind from the Sea after Sunrise", Oboro: "Mist Veil Through Which Only a Shade of the Moon is Visible" or Ariake: "Dawn, But Still the Moon Remains in the Sky".....
WOW!!
WOW!!
Nice shots shinpachi!
Nothing wrong with the old lenses and they are cheaper

I agree with Lucky regarding Japan's natural and cultural beauty as well as the language.
You have a great camera, Shinpachi...perhaps I'll get take a picture of my camera equipment and post it in my thread one of these days!

Thanks guys for so many favorable and enjoyable comments!
.....Now, the year is almost ending and I must remember my promise that I made for Maximowitz several months ago.
I promised him I would visit Kyoto to take photos for him....
Here I go.
I happened to be in the Kyoto Imperial Palace today!

What an astonishingly beautiful and serene place. You can almost sense the peace and calm through those photographs.
It would be wonderful to sit their a while, contemplating the world and our place in it. A setting for lofty thoughts.
Domo arigato my friend for posting these fine pictures. You certainly live in enviable surroundings.

Thanks for your comments vB, Mike and Paul!
Paul, as you remember, these photos are my gratitude for your last Cosford photos.
The framed sign shows the building name - Shishinden, main building of the palace.
There are two thrones for the emperor and the empress inside.
The screen around the sign is a pigeon protection.
Here are photos of Shishinden and the courtyard.

Thank you very much, Mike and Paul, for your kind comments again
As you may know, Kyoto was the capital of Japan with this palace for a long time since 794 till 1869 when the emperor moved to Edo castle in Tokyo as his new palace to govern the nation again directly after Meiji Revolution in 1867.
However, as not a few foreigners may misunderstand, the emperor had not been the substantial ruler anymore since the 13th century when samurai class took power. He was always used as a symbol for the nation by men of power at the time and is so even today under the name of democracy.
To compare with the magnificent ancient palace in Nara, you may notice that Kyoto Palace looks modest.
Photos show some roof decorations which modified flower of a chrysanthemum for the emperor's crest.
