Kyoto station is a wonderful architectural masterpiece. Very subtle with lots of lines, angle, curves. After nearly1200 years of being the capital, Kyoto always felt slighted once the Meiji Emperor decide to move the capital to then Edo now Tokyo. In its bid to appear modern, they opened the new Kyoto station in 1997 to commemorate Kyoto's 1200 year history. It is Japan's second largest station (physical structure) after Nagoya station. Here's another Lensbaby view of some of its fun lines.
NOTE: So having filled up all 3 of my June albums chronologically with my favorites from the Picture Japan trip, July 1-12 will be my non-chronologic favorites. I realize how overwhelming this is to your photo stream, and greatly appreciate if you've taken the time to comment on my recent flood of photos, but the end is in sight!
