Posted by GJC (Kyoto, Japan) on 8 March 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.
This is my 100th posting! Thanks to all who visit and comment, which has really energized me and kept me going, because you were able to see what I want to communicate -- the quiet moment, the fleeting light, the meditative silence and the jeweled scene. I have enjoyed this blog more than I can say, and to know that people are interested in my work, as I am interested in yours, has been a great inspiration. So today for the 100th posting, it's doors. Onto how many more views of Kyoto will they open? I hope you'll come back and discover with me.
Cool Photoblogs
congratulations!! A great shot you have here. The ancient doors and the dawning new sunlight, great work.

This one makes me thinkf the gospel words: "Knock and you will be welcomed". The massive wood suggests safety and shelter against threats from outside. Thanks for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS with your 100th picture! I enjoy them very much.
