Entrance To Temple
If this was Canada, we would probably wrap christmas lights around every edge. Here it was a little more understated.

Pond with Turtles

This is part of the Gardens at Ryoanji Temple called the Kyoyochi Pond.

Golden Pavilion

This temple is setup to be beautiful.  You can't go up and touch it, and the paths
around the temple support a few hundred on looks an hour.

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).

Golden Pavilion

This temple is setup to be beautiful.  I like the little boat house, but the lake doesn't
really go anywhere.

Golden Pavilion

This temple is setup to be beautiful.  All around you tourists are taking pictures
of themselves and there parties in front of the temple.

Rat Temple

This Temple is on the Philosophers Walk - Rats don't get a very
good rap in the western world, but they seem to be respected in Japan.

Golden Statue From the Side

I was quite surprised this photo turned out as well as it did -
the lighting was through the large front doors and other small windows
around the building.
