I liked warm reflections of the lights on a wet street that I painted yesterday. The inspiration led me to do another one today.
The busiest shopping area of the downtown Kyoto, Sanjo displays an eclectic mix of both traditional Japanese and modern Western appearances. Walking westward from the Sanjo Bridge over the Kamo River, we pass by old wooden merchant houses that stand between Western-style stone buildings. Small alleys are reminiscent of the times in the past while main streets look almost European.
