Byodo-In

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.
If you're interested, check out the tag "picturejapan2014" to see photos of the trip from other participants who are also on 365.
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.
