On the Sliding Door

These pictures were taken at the Ginkakuji Temple in Kyoto. Compared to the Kinkakuji Temple, this temple is not so popular, but highly recommend  this garden.

Taizo-in Temple

There are lots of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines in Kyoto. Among them, Taizo-in Temple is one of my favorites. Taizo-in is a sub temple of  Myoshinji Temple, Rinzai Zen Buddhism. This Japanese garden is said to be one of the masterpieces of Showa period(1926 ~1989). It looks much deeper than in reality. Every season it offers us the different beauty.

Terraced Paddy Fields in Autumn

 

It's harvest time. You can see two people are cropping rice in the first image. It must be hard to harvest without using a machine. Took these in Chihaya-Akasaka Village located in the south end of Osaka Prefecture. Such a peaceful village in nature.

Sunset from the Bridge

This is a sunset shot when I was driving on the bridge the other day. The sky was so dramatic.
