A beautiful building, wonderful light and a glowing tree. A very fine composition.

The tree in the center with the red leaves is quite a lovely gem.

I like the darkness surrounding the bright building and the little pathway leads to the 'V'. Great lighting and great shot GJC.

Terrific use of light and dark as compositional elements. The window is the centerpiece and a great foil for the rest of the image.

Did you see the film "Lost in translation"? I was wondering if I have seen the temples before in your blog which were shown in this film.

@Lucca: Thanks for visiting. Yes, I have seen the movie, but it has been a long time. I remember the main Kyoto temple they showed is called "Nanzenji" (南禅寺). It's a lovely temple, but far from my house so I don't have any photos of it on the blog.

Nice play with light and colours. I like it much !
