The Golden Temple

A lovely view

Hi Alec,

A very pleasant image of the temple.  I wish that the fallen leaves weren't floating through the reflection but there's nothing you can do about that!

When I lived in Osaka I used to try and photo this place regularly.  I must admit that I found it incredibly difficult.  It's not just because it's been photographed many times, but because the sun drops behind a mountain just before the very best light.  Also, the crowds make it really hard.

 

All the best,

Rob

 

Very nice tonal balance between yellows, greens and blues. Interesting object with a nicely caught reflection.

TQ Rob, Hachaj. Yes, it's been done a thousand times before but still need to catch this, I hired a bicycle and rode around Kyoto and manged to get to this place in time before they close. Pity the sky was cloudy.

Alec, thanks for sharing with us this beautiful golden temple.
