A rolling mountain range seen behind the Golden Pavilion on a clear day with a spectacular sky above. The white fluffy clouds and surrounding trees and foliage are reflected on the calm water of the lake. I can pause for awhile here!

The Golden Pavilion in Kyoto on a very rainy day. #goldenpavilion #kyoto #iphone #japan #photography #landscapephotography

The Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji Temple) is covered in gold leaf and topped with a bronze phoenix. It was originally built around 1400s but destroyed by arson in 1950. The version we see today is an exact replica.

Just revisiting some photos from Kyoto (2023) on this dreary and rainy day. I was lucky enough to visit Kinkaku-ji during the golden hour. Beautiful temple.

A golden pavilion rises above terraces of bonsai, stone and clipped greenery. #Photography #NaturePhotography #HongKong #GoldenPavilion

A bright golden pavilion stands among sculpted trees and stone terraces, with apartment towers and hills beyond.

Reflecting on the beauty of Kyoto. ✨

The Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) shining in the sunlight. The stillness of the pond creates a perfect mirror. A truly Zen moment. 🌿

📍 Kinkaku-ji, Kyoto

#Japan #Kyoto #GoldenPavilion #Kinkakuji #Travel #Photography #Zen

A stunning scenic view of Kinkaku-ji (The Golden Pavilion) in Kyoto on a sunny day. The three-story Zen temple, covered in gold leaf, stands at the edge of a calm pond surrounded by lush green pine trees and rocks. The golden temple and blue sky are perfectly reflected on the water's surface.

$Scenery The Kinkaku Ji Golden Pavilion is a fractured jewel its once radiant gold leaf now dull and streaked with verdigris The surrounding mirror pond is a murky expanse of glowing teal algae its surface broken by the skeletal remains of koi fish and the rusted frames of overturned rowboats The lush gardens are a chaotic tangle of neon vines and bioluminescent fungi the stone lanterns cracked and glowing faintly from within A perpetual twilight bathes the ruins in an eerie greenish gold light Key Elements 1 A scavenger in a patched kimono stitched with glowing thread and a gas mask made from a shattered sake bottle climbs the pavilion’s broken steps clutching a satchel filled with fragments of gold leaf and a cracked Zen garden rake 2 Graffiti covers the pavilion walls glowing teal Japanese characters like 金色の夢は砕けた The Golden Dream is Shattered and a mural of a fractured phoenix rising from neon flames 3 A pack of wild herons with iridescent feathers and glowing eyes wades through the swamp their cries echoing through the ruins as they pick at the remains of robotic koi fish 4 A makeshift raft made of bamboo and glowing plastic barrels floats in the pond piled with scavenged supplies a broken biwa lute and a rusted samurai helmet 5 A frozen waterfall lies in the garden its surface cracked and pulsating with bioluminescent moss that casts an otherworldly glow$

Oh, no! #Kinkakuji is Under Construction!

This card showcases when temples undergo maintenance, which oftentimes last for years.
These roof repairs luckily only took a few months to complete so the #GoldenPavilion was quickly back under normal operations.

Built in 1397 as a shogun’s retirement villa, Kinkaku-ji later became a Zen temple, symbolizing peace and enlightenment. Would you visit this golden wonder? 🏯✨
