Five Layers Of Roofs
I like the stone work and how the roof details add up.

Selection Of Roof Caps
Each of these caps reflects either the family that was in power at the time or a charm to fend off fire.

Dolphin Ornament On Roof Line
Dolphins (and fish in general) are often on roofs because they bring luck against fires.

Roofline In Sunset
It's tough when it's sunset and there aren't a lot of pretty things handy.

Tending Firepit
The home has a fire pit built into the floor that was used for cooking and heating the room. Part of our meal was cooked on this fire.

Tea Pot Over Log
This was a 25 second exposure at f2.8 and I was surprised it turned out. There didn't seem to be any tea ceremony going on - this was just off the path buy the entrance to the spring.

Hanging Bell

One of the great parts of Japan was the details. While the stones are the central
attraction, the environment is what makes the temple so cool.

Cleaning Fountain

When you enter temple areas you are supposed to clean your mouth and hands.
Westerners are excused (it might be just a Buddhist thing), but these fountains are found at many of the larger
sites.

Bell Hanging

The combination of bell, the traditional roof, and the setting makes this shot very Japanese.
(I guess shot on Japanese film with a Japanese camera doesn't hurt either).

Nightingale Floor

These floors were cool - as you walked across them they would squeak like a bird.  The idea
was to guard the palace interiors by making walking across the floor impossible.
