I go on a hike to Mt. Wakakusayama. I lay on the soft green grass at the summit and promise myself to come up again at dusk, one day to catch Nara with its lights.

Mani’s got classes today, so I ran off by myself to take a closer look at the beautiful temples of Kofuku-ji, some of which are said to be from as early as 700 CE.

We take a walk down Nara’s incredible Deer Park. The park is home to hundreds of freely roaming deers. Walk among the sweet younglings in the green meadows. And don’t forget to pack some Shika Senbei, They love em!

I head up to Rinku Town in Osaka, where Mani stayed during her scholarship some 5 years back. We take a ride on the giant Ferris Wheel and experience a thrill like none before

Some of my favorite shots taken using the new Nikon 80-400mm 4.5-5.6 VR on the Nikon D7100. I found the VR to be really helpful while taking handheld, dusk time photos.

You never have enough space if you indulge in photography, more so if you are shooting RAW. The WD My Cloud 3TB NAS has combined data sharing, data backups, data synchronization and a powerful personal cloud in a single compact box which is a huge assist in the workflow for photographers.
