Here’s another great example of a well taken snapshot. Granted, the Kinkakuji golden temple in Kyoto, Japan, isn’t your everyday regular location, and still- you need a good photo to emphasis even some of the most lovely places.
Cindy Spelt took this one with her point and shoot Canon Ixus digital camera, and did a splendid job. Well composed, well timed (notice those little ripples on the water)- just as good as it is simple.
“What I can remember was the light – the sun and the gold together was fantastic – almost blinding your eyes… ”
In 1397 construction started on the GoldenPavilion as part of a new residence for the retired shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Kinkakuji was converted into a Zen templeafter Yoshimitsu’s death in 1408. It has been burnt in 1950 and rebuilt in 1955, and has a 24 karat golden leaf cover.
