In front of Kiyomizudera entrance
Bird at Maruyama Park (do you know what it is? I don't)
Gigantic gate at Chionin Temple
The Italian restaurant across the street from the Butokuden
Election time in Nara (also means annoying people, these people, driving around in vans early in the morning talking through bullhorns again, or they just hang at the train stations and stand on their vans and talk very loudly through their bullhorns)
The bird is a Gray Heron.

We have some of those here in Germany. For some reason there are Japanese birds that live in the Netherlands right by me in Aachen. I saw them in Maastricht and in Amsterdam. I'll send you the link to my picture of one if I can find it.
