The Golden Pavilion, or Kinkaku-ji for my new Japanese friends

Did you all know I have a free Newsletter? You’ll love it… all kinds of great photos and free tips!
This is one of the most famous temples in Kyoto, so of course I had to go. It’s sort of like going to the Eiffel Tower in Paris or Rudy’s BBQ in Austin.
It was originally built back in 1397 and has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The building itself is as meticulous as the gardens around it. The Japanese really know how to tend a garden! There was a fleet of workers all over the grounds, sweeping up and rearranging little bits here and there. It was all very quaint and wonderful.

What a great place….and what a great piece of photo work, Trey.
And I like the comparison to Rudy’s BBQ – definitely made me smile.
Cool thanks Jeff – !

Superb shot =)
Very nice this has a dreamy feel to it great work
Rudy’s is one of the best bbq around. Their sauce makes it worth the price.

I have a "noren" depicticting almost that very scene hanging on my bedroom wall! If you managed to catch a HDR view of the Great Wave off Kanagawa as well, I’ll be very impressed!
Very much looking forward to Japan in HDR over the coming days/weeks/months/years.
Awesome! I like the Rudy’s analogy. Could you please send some cream corn and a pound of moist brisket to San Diego?
Very beautiful work, wow!
