A lot of stuff is going on at my stream these days. Thanks a lot. If you added me as a friend I will try to comment your photos. But please be patient with me. I am close to one thousand friends and it is sometimes really hard to remember 100 new names in a week. So if I don’t remember you please don’t take it personal.
In today’s Photo are some of the gates you can find in Kyoto. Yeah only some of them. There are so many. You can walk up a hill and all the way you’ll find these gates. Definitely a place to go to if you ever come around!
I still work at my tutorial but believe me it is so time consuming.

This is perhaps the most famous temple in Kyoto although a lot of them can be found there.
If you ever go to Kyoto ask me about the monkey mountain. It lies a bit outside of Kyoto but it is more than worth seeing. I’ll give you information about it.
I always wonder why someone uses gold to paint a temple with :) but who cares it is a nice attraction!

So this is the fifth Photo I dedicate to the new Angels and Airwaves Album which is called Love.
The title of today’s song is Some Origins of Fire. You should definitely download it here for free: http://modlife.com/angelsandairwaves/love
I have released a picture of the temple some time ago as you possibly remember. This time the photo was taken from the opposite side. I still can’t understand why somebody builds a temple in pure gold :)?! Buuut! For photography it is perfect as you see here. I choose this song because it is talking about fire.
When I visited the temple I was told that it was burnt down more than once….
Have fun!

Some Origins of Fire
Cars crash through the streets
The west end waves break city heats
The east coast storms fill in the sky
Winter weekends
Cold, unbearable
Lifes so terrible
Shots ring out in blind stellar night time
Town lights come alive like a land mine
Eyes wide up in five second intervals
Unpredictable, lifes a miracle
We all are love and love is hard
Were hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
It breaks my heart
We all are love and love is hard
Were hard to love
We all are love and love is hard
So heres my heart
I cant close my eyes
The east end barrels, its summer time
The west coast lives got butterflies
So literal
Cold, unbearable
Life's so terrible
Kids live fearlessly and curious lives
Grow up to be so serious
Lost time, broken dreams
So usual
Unpredictable, life's a miracle
It's only the cycle
It's deafening though
This age old recital is king of all sounds
There is no release, free, we are silently numb
A sole, lonely wave with the weight that's yet to come

Hey everybody. Today’s photo is from the top of Kyoto’s beautiful mountains. Yes it is the Kyoto where the Kyoto protocol was born.
If I look at the beauty of Kyoto I honestly wish that all countries of the world would sign this contract. In the future we still need places like these.
I like the awesome Pagoda in the middle of the Photo, in my eyes it fits perfect, so whoever built it, congratulations!
