Another milestone reached and what better way to celebrate with a picture of the parents? Sadly they weren’t the most photogenic, so one of them from behind staring at a pond will have to do.

The day before was a mild success because of the bamboo forest, despite missing out on the monkeys. So on this day i put my determined face on and cycled all the way back to Arashiyama to look at some goddam monkeys!!
The route i took was on ichijo (一条) which takes you out into the countryside, before guiding you into Arashiyama. Whilst cycling along the road i saw this area and stopped to take this photo of a dried up lake. The only thing left was a little bit of standing water and some old boats resting on the dry ground. I wonder when rainy season comes, if this will be restored to its purpose of being a functional lake. These boats make me sad.
