Kinkaku Phoenix
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 28 December 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.
This phoenix sits atop the golden pavilion (Kinkaku) at Kinkakuji, Kyoto.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

This image is texturally beautiful, the colour, contrast and lighting are all really striking.

Simple but very effective, great colors. Is the chain some kind of lightning rod?

@Wolfgang Prigge: Thanks Wolfgang. I think the chain is decoration. There is a separate lightning rod - all old buildings such as this in Japan have one somewhere.
