Notes

• Kinkaku-ji [金閣寺]. Or the Golden Temple. Kyoto, Japan. This photo doesnt do it any justice. The temple is covered in gold-plated leaf and shines in the afternoon sun. Its breathtaking to look at and photograph.

• Well, a very calming shot with those smashing greens and 'mill pond' water. Not surprised it doesn't do it justice, reckon it'd be tough to get the gold to stand out enough; maybe if the sun was at a lower angle. Nevertheless, it's still a strong shot.

• Thanks David! The shrine closed before the sun set... I wanted to get the shot at sunset.
