Arashiyama

The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is a must see site when visiting Kyoto, Japan.
On the edge of the city, Arashiyama is a natural bamboo forest. To have the best experience I recommend you make the effort to get up early—sunrise early—to beat the crowds.
The other advantage of getting the early is to avoid the overly bright skies breaking through the peaks of the bamboo. You can get a more balanced light. Even at 0730, around the time of this image, you can see the bright sky.
Take the time to enjoy the location, capture scenes big and intimate, and soak up the tranquility.
