On Sunday March 6th I posted a photo of Todai-ji Temple. in Nara, as and example of "What Makes Wood Beautiful". On Friday March 11th the largest wooden building in the world was spared but much of the country and many lives were not.

| Kiyomisu Dera Temple, established over 1200 years ago |
With all the terrible destruction and horrendous loss of life I wanted to provide a break from the images that we have been seeing and refresh the senses with some of the magnificent treasures and landscape in and around Kyoto. Hopefully these are far enough away from the epicentre that they have not suffered any damage.

Zen Garden at Konchi-in Temple, perhaps enhanced by the rain, is absolutely exquisite.
