Japan is full of surprises. On the Picture Japan trip, we walked around the romantic Arashiyama area of western Kyoto. The bamboo groves, Togetsu-kyo (bridge), and on our way home, we stumble upon a new installation of kimono cloth lit up in luminescent posts at the Keifuku Arashiyama train station. Hundreds of them. We were so enchanted. I took a walk around and found this lovely reflection of the kimono posts on rail lines wet with new rain. I wanted to capture the warmth of the glow through this shot (and had to jump off the tracks once as a train came into the station).
Fabulous shot!!! I love your eye -- I never even saw this when we were there. It's a brilliant way to show how the kimono columns repeated the pattern of the tracks, and the shine of the just-after-the-rain timing. That little reflection on the tracks is icing on the cake.
