Water 1 / 3: Reflective Equilibrium
Posted by Stu (Home: Scotland | Residing in Kyoto, Japan) on 1 May 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This is the first of a three-day international project organized by Damon, on the theme of water.
Thanks for doing all the leg-work, Damon!

Mmm...the subtle variance of colours... minimalism strikes again! :)

@Sash: Thanks Sash. This was at Eikando Zenrinji Temple, beside Nanzenji. Very peaceful place.
Re the trip to Oz - will see what I can do. Would love to return but funds are tight.

There's such a rich depth of color to your photos - this one is particularly luxurious, serene and classical. Beautiful image.

Nice texture and tone - the green really gives an impression of nature taking over the still water.

so rich and earthy. I imagine a circle of druids chanting around a ring of trees for some kind of solstice ceremony. Great shot on the water theme.

Exquisite! It encompasses the sort of legendary 'tranquility' of Japan. Looks like a magic place, where one might see visions...ah.....

I like the reflection. Somehow, it really feels serene, peaceful, calm.
