The Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji) is literally covered in gold - gold leaf. The Golden Pavilion is World Heritage listed and surround by beautiful gardens.

Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple formally known as Rokuonji.

In 1397 construction started on the Golden Pavilion as part of a new residence for the retired shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Kinkakuji was converted into a Zen temple after Yoshimitsu's death in 1408.

The Golden Pavilion functions as shariden, housing sacred relics of the Buddha and is covered in gold leaf. The present building dates from 1955 as the pavilion was burnt by a fanatic monk in 1950.

Szia Tibor!
Egészen különleges, nyugalmat árasztó kompozíció Japánból. Tetszik a keleti építészet és a tökéletes harmónia a termszettel. Az élénk sznek és a visszatükröződés a vizen még hatásosabbá teszi. Talán a fekete helyett egy vidámabb keretet választottam volna, de ez csak ízlés dolga.
Szép munka, gratulálok!
Üdv,
Kristóf

Beautiful of a wonderful place.
