The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto, is one of the most peaceful places I have been. There's just something about wind rustling through these tall spires of bamboo, that completely enshroud you in a canopy, into another world away from the city. I woke up super early to be here pre-tourist crowds and get that beautiful morning soft glow light. I was the only one there, in addition to an older man, out for a morning walk. You can see him blurred in the center of the path, ambling along.
