Kyoto is overflowing with temples! There are big boisterous ones, small serene ones, gold ones (honestly), silver one (sort of), rustic old ones and charming new(er) ones.
There are so many I can’t remember exactly which these two are or where they are.
A few more smartly dressed buddha’s to add to my growing collection…

Hagi (my hometown in Japan), is famous for oranges. They are everywhere, like colourful ornaments on permanent Christmas trees.
I really liked the rustic wall backdrop to this little tree and thought it should be the second ‘orange’ featured post on my blog. See the first here.
To add something extra photo and compliment the rustic look, I decided to try and create a vintage look in Adobe Lightroom.
You can take a look at the before image here (RAW, straight out of the camera).
If you like the effect, please feel free to download it as a preset and see how it looks on some of your own photos (click on the monkey).
