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!
@Standley: Thanks Richard!

I can see one of these pagodas from my window right here . . at Kew Gardens ! Strange how familiar it makes this feel.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks Ronnie! Never seen the Japanese Garden at Kew...
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Lovely composition. I find it amazing that the builders of these pagodas figured out how to make them earthquake resistant so long ago.

@Steve Rice: Thanks Steve. Yes, it always intrigues me when I see such old structures in Japan, considering how many other buildings fall victim to earthquakes.

Oh, yes! This is meant for B&W! The pagoda challenging the tree or viceversa...both extraordinarily graphic in shape! Beautiful japanesque!
