On the Banks of the Oi River
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 9 January 2009 in Documentary & Street.
The Oi river changes its name to the Katsura river as it passes under the Togetsukyo bridge in Arashiyama, Kyoto.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Interesting scene. I notice all the firewood there. I guess this place deals with boats and firewood.

I like those covered cruise boats. It looks a little cold to be cruising though. A really fine B&W image.
