WoW... you clearly used a very narrow aperture for this shot. How long was your shutter speed?

Ahh good old Kyoto.
Nice work capturing the street when it was empty!
Too bad there are only bits of traditional Kyoto left now...

not to hard to find this area empty at night

... either my eyes fall on wrong places, or I'm too good to notice things or it's just that I've been an advertiser for Coca-Cola Company for so long - the first thing I noticed was the flex banner (or could be wall paint) of Coke at the left bottom corner of the picture...
well, weirdness aside, I like the light flares and its conducive highlights in the picture... the highlights on those three umbrella thingys are simply graceful making this picture a serene visualization all over...
... to mark the remarkable finish to the picture, the blue tone for the background and again, its causative effects has given the whole picture an absolutely fantastic finishing touch...

You work for coke? awesome 
Coke is everywhere, and very much-so in Japan with their 5 vending machines per-person ratio (a made-up statistic)

... well, that was not just ignorant of you, but I found your statement "no offices in Nepal" funny too... I am an advertiser working for more than just Coke... I advertise for Samsung Electronics, Western Union Money Transfer, Johnson and Johnson, KIA Motors and 17 other national level brands... you seriously need to visit Nepal man, you'll find million new things from what you see in magazines, pictures and in National Geographic...

Another wonderful spot!
Must have been up during the wee hours to find these streets so empty...

No not really, once the temple grounds close, so do the shops and the tourists leave for dinner. I've walked down these streets pretty often from around 8-11 and only see the odd pedestrian.

That's kind of crazy. As I recall, a lot of the buses in Kyoto stop running at some absurdly early hour like 8pm or so. So it was either get home by then, or stay out all night!
Maybe nicer tho, not to be thronged by crowds at all hours.

I remember that place, I've been there in 2007 :]
Great shot, as always ;]
