Nara Park - 奈良公園

Nara Park is a wonderful destination for a day trip.  While famous for having the largest wooden building in the world which houses a truly huge statue of Buddha it is important not to overlook the little things and other details that make it a great place to visit.

Raugh out Roud

Raugh out Roud (ROR) featured great stand-up comedy by Osaka based comedians:
Bill Reilly, Jade Lake, Rob 'Bucky' Buckman, Dan Dorman,
Kwame Alexander, Zach Strickland, and Edd Daggers.
It was quite impressive as for most of the comics, who as members of the Pirates of the Dotombori specialize in improv, it was their first time doing stand-up; and they all did great!

HDR?

Shotengai near Tennoji

Though this image was made from tweaking a single .jpg, it does achieve an effect much like a stacked image HDR(high dynamic range) photograph.
