A traditional buddhist rock garden....feel free to contemplate the stones, of which there are 15, symbolising the 15 islands of Japan....wherever you sit there is always at least one stone which is hidden....
I love japanese curvy roofs....and the tiles aswell
Quite a famous site...the temple of the golden pavilion
A shinto shrine in the centre of Kyoto....nice little towers
This is a shinto temple in the foothills of the mountains....lovely and serene with a nice view...
The view....apologies for quality
The main temple is supported on the hillside by wood....no nails and no glue...all slotted together
The entrance gate at dusk
and one in big form as I liked it
