This is the most amazing temple where we spent a few hours this afternoon. This is a view from the side (because I liked the bridge and reflection from this angle). Michael's (see @vankrey Michael's photo that shows one of the gold phoenixes that adorn the main building -- they really are amazing and his shot was 'the' shot of the day - http://365project.org/vankrey/365/2014-06-14). And Junko's shot (@jyokota) shows the custom of having your temple book signed at each temple you visit - http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2014-06-14. Both she and Michael are now on their second book and the pages are stunning.

I appreciate your comments on my previous shots -- I'm enjoying sharing and value your response so much. I hope all are having a good weekend.
Spectacular capture of the beautiful building! The image is strong and clear, the reflections add space for a peaceful contemplation, and the gorilla pod did a great job of allowing for multiple exposures!
Wow, you captured this so well, Taffy. I love the reflections so much and what amazing detail. You really have a way of making one feel like we are there with you as your photos are so 3D. FAV
Sorry for my late response, but wow, Taffy, this is a stupendous shot! I absolutely love your POV and angle and composition here: the walkway and bridge coming in from the left side, the great reflections in the water, and the lush green offsetting the manmade structures. Lovely picture and a big fav!
The stones are amazing!
