Took this shot in passing. I saw this group of people who were lucky enough to see a few Zenkoji Buddhist monks passing by. I thought they were quite colorful.
Holy Smoke

This guy had a really funny expression I thought. He jumped up pretty fast to this incense pot and the smoke just blasted him. He looks like he’s inhaling or something. Funny. These guys are really fun to talk to by the way provided you can speak Japanese. They do try to speak English a little, but it they trail off quickly when you get onto more complex topics.
Welcome to Japan!

This is a Security Guard that I see at Zenkoji Temple quite regularly. Everytime I see him he gives me a great big smile and says "Welcome to Japan!". I think I’ve seen him about 24-25 times now this past year and he still hasn’t recognized me. So if anyone visits Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City Japan, you apt to get a big smile and a "Welcome to Japan" from this security guard. He is a great guy though and he always lets me stand around and take pictures of the people no problem.
Minding my way!
