On Feb 13 2009, I arrived Tokyo to visit my friend in the late afternoon, and quickly made my way down train for 1 hour and half to Sensoji Temple. Located in Asakusa, is Tokyo’s oldest, and one of its most significant temples.

Down the street leading from the gate to the temple itself, is lined small shops selling souvenirs. Ranging from traditional sweets, cell-phone trinkets, prints.. etc.

I spent rest of evening walking around seeing possible photographic locations in better lighting conditions. 

There are few images I captured during my visit

Paw-waving cats” made of porcelain that can be found there in many Asian restaurants, usually placed near the door or in a window, where custmers can see them before or just as they walk inside.

Boynton Canyon was our last destination in Sedona. We left Sedona exhausted. A lot of miles of walking in a day. Spending a day surrounded by beloved red rocks really open my mind and beauty of extreme scale.
