Picture of the Day - from Osu Kannon Temple - Nagoya, Japan

As a photographer I find Japan to have a never ending flow of wonderful images and ideas. That said it is also a great challenges to take pictures of exactly what you want due to things being pushed together. This picture for example was a close up and I also cropped it. I could have cropped it further but it didn't look right.

My favorite obstacles to overcome are the power lines which are everywhere. When I am working on a project I usually take pictures of the power lines to give them their due.

I always welcome any and all comments on my pictures so please feel free to be honest.

How much do you tip in Japan?

If you compare guidebooks on this question they have different answers. I live here and know there is only one simple answer. You don't tip anywhere at any time. Even at salons and in a taxi there is no tipping. Ironically, the Japanese provide some of the best customer service in the world.

Peace,
