Quelque chose de magique dans cette photo, je sais pas trop comment l'exprimer, mais c'est ce que je ressens ...

Like a breath of fresh air! Love it! That yellow color is one of my favorite all time colors.

The new leaves making their appearance on the tree seems so fresh and such a lovely bright green. So wonderful with the strong yellow line of the fence!
Bravo!

i count five different planes of space. just one way of seeing the photo, of course, but i like that feeling - of one layer added upon another and another.

Beautiful colors and patterns. What I've noticed from you pictures GJC, is that Japanese people like their privacy. There's always a wall or fence surrounding something.
cheers

Beautiful garden and warm lighting. The yellow wall is a very good choice.

Another wonderful image. The mix of colours and textures works really well and combined with the afternoon sun gives a lovely warm feeling.

Very nice spring scene, I really love this green on the trees, and you show us nice light and good textures, I like to guess the house behind the trees

The tree and the branches create a kind of pointillist effect on the house. A somptuous picture!

Your shots chronicling North Kyoto really are second to none. I was up Iwakura way the other day and didn't see too many sights like this, yet you seem able to find them on an almost daily basis. You must know your way around that area like the back of your hand by now.

@Stu: Thanks so much for your kind comments; I really appreciate them given the high esteem I hold your own photos in. Yes, I must say that I know the Iwakura area pretty darned well. I don't have a bike so I have walked huge stretches of the area, which means at a walking pace you get to know a lot about a place. As you have already seen, there is plenty of banality all around Iwakura. But there are also still a large number of glorious sights so that I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in Kyoto.
