Kyoto, Japan view map

The weather was cooperative, the rain stopped pouring for a while.
After I took this picture, it resumed pouring again.

Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion Temple) is the informal name of Rokuon-ji (Deer Garden Temple) in Kyoto.
It was originally built in 1397 to serve as a retirement villa for a Generalissimo.

The top two stories of the golden pavilion are covered with pure gold leaf.
The pavilion was burned down by a monk in 1950. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.

This is exceptionally good. I love your 3D effect by placing something between you and the main subject of the image. It adds depth to an otherwise "flat" perspective... Very beautiful CM... a prize winning shot.

Really in leaf of gold it is the first impreesiv looking ,but it is so undrestanding I think it is the alone in the world. This picture is very nice surrounding this building in a green crown with a poor sky but so nice for this shoot.
