In this post, I mentioned I had several pictures from Kyoto, including some of the Kinkaku-ji, the famous Golden Pavilion Temple. Here is one of those shots.
I remember taking this shot--I walked around a grove of trees and saw the temple in its entirety for the first time. All the temples in Kyoto are awe-inspiring, but this one much more so.
There will be more of these to come, but enjoy this for now.
Another picture tomorrow...

Scenery, architecture, & history. This one has all of that and more. What's an amazing piece of architecture!
Thanks Neo! If you visit the Wikipedia page for this temple, you'll see many other pictures of it, including some from winter. IMHO, the winter and fall pictures are the most dramatic. I'm glad you enjoyed this pic...

I think this is really beautiful!
Have you read Yukio Mishima's The Temple of the Golden Pavilion? I would highly recommend it.
Thanks for the link to my blog. I will post a link on my blog to yours.
