Weekly Pictures

A little bit too random to make a full post out of so we grouped together a few shots taken on our travels over the past week...

An afternoon ride around Nara, Todai-ji temple in the background.
The stairs leading up to Nigatsu-do.
The view over Nara from Nigastu-do.
One of the better shadow shots we took this week!
Then we braved the heat and took a trip out to Osaka midweek with Mr Toepfer and made a tour of the bike shops, including the new 8to8 store and the wonderful Gira Gira...

Hiding in the shade waiting for the lights to change!
A very cool biker we spotted in Namba.
Big Toepfer speeding through town.
A couple more examples of bicycle parking we passed in Umeda yesterday, firstly the ordered, racked and stacked...


Then the usual chaotic scenes...


Something very odd happened to our camera as we tried to get a shot of this stylish Bianchi track bike..


 And finally, we couldn't leave you without the now compulsory deer photo...


The guys at Guell are made of sterner stuff than us and did the 100+Km ride from Nara to the Guell Shiga store yesterday, braving 37C heat and heavy thunderstorms! Big respect guys!!
