@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.
