Autum dark, autumn light
11th December 2011
When the crowds show up at Kodai-ji on autumn evenings, this is probably what they're hoping to see.
The queue can be long but there are things to see on the way to the temple's ticket office.
And the wait, I think, is worth it.
The water was so clear we got two autumn landscapes for the price of one.
Though this young gentleman was more interested in the lights than in what was being lit up.
I hope he saw the phoenix though.
And the gold on the hall where the temple's founder, Nene, is enshrined.
If you follow the arrows along the path, they will take you to a bamboo grove...
...then lead you back to the start for one last look.
