Bhuddism symbology. As a bonus, there's also fallen sakura and moss. http://ambientlight.ca/i/390 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:52 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/390 http://ambientlight.ca/i/389 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/389_thumb.jpg"><br /> More Torii. You can see some of the imperfections here, and the torii that were installed at different times. Some that have been repainted recently, others that have not. http://ambientlight.ca/i/389 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:47 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/389 http://ambientlight.ca/i/388 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/388_thumb.jpg"><br /> A detail shot of the backs of the Torii in Fushimi Inari-Taisha. http://ambientlight.ca/i/388 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:46 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/388 http://ambientlight.ca/i/387 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/387_thumb.jpg"><br /> The Osaka Aquarium is a great place to get upclose shots of stingrays, sharks, dolphins, penguins, and other sea mammals and creatures of all kinds. http://ambientlight.ca/i/387 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:43 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/387 http://ambientlight.ca/i/386 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/386_thumb.jpg"><br /> Kyoto is a great place to randomly walk around. You just keep running into temples and shrines. This is Kiyomizu-dera, otherwise known as the matchmaking shrine or the scaffolding shrine. Seen here is the Pagoda stretching far above the tree tops. http://ambientlight.ca/i/386 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:39 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/386 http://ambientlight.ca/i/385 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/385_thumb.jpg"><br /> This is in the middle of a lake in Ueno park in Tokyo. http://ambientlight.ca/i/385 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:34 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/385 http://ambientlight.ca/i/384 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/384_thumb.jpg"><br /> This robot, from Castle in the Sky, is perched on the rooftop of the Ghibli museum in Mitaka. It's about 3 stories tall. http://ambientlight.ca/i/384 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:32 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/384 http://ambientlight.ca/i/383 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/383_thumb.jpg"><br /> The attention to detail of some things in Japan astounds me. This is Yokoami-cho garden, a small garden, surrounded by city buildings. The large pond has many Koi and Catfish, and everything is well maintained. This is probably because of the full-time gardener working out of a small shed in the corner of the park. http://ambientlight.ca/i/383 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:28 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/383 http://ambientlight.ca/i/382 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/382_thumb.jpg"><br /> Nature is a big theme around temples and shrines in Japan. They generally end up as stone sculptures. In this case, it is a metal sculpture atop a temple building. http://ambientlight.ca/i/382 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:24 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/382 http://ambientlight.ca/i/381 <img src="http://img.ambientlight.ca/thumbs/381_thumb.jpg"><br /> http://ambientlight.ca/i/381 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:14 -0500 http://ambientlight.ca/i/381
