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.
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.
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).
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.
