[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Rokuon - ji Temple was originally built as a villa by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who had taken possession of a mountain villa of Saionji Temple in 1397. It was converted into a temple after Yoshimitsu's death. Officially named Rokuonji Temple, this temple is famous both in Japan and abroad as a symbol of Kitayama culture. The Kinkaku, or "Golden Pavilion," was built as the Shariden. Covered with gold, the image of the pavilion, which stands at the edge of Kyokochi pond, is reflected in the water. Major repair work performed in 1987 has further enhanced its brilliance.

hello yuri

superbe ce pavillon en or qui se reflete dans l'eau
les couleurs sont claires et naturelles
bon pov et belle composition
beau travail

One of the prettier shots I have seen of the Golden Pavillion or Rokuonji Temple. You have really captured the stunning beauty very nicely here...with the wonderful, bright green trees and lovely reflection in the water. Really very nicely done.
