Leaf on Wall's Roof

Continuing with shots from my visit to Giouji Temple (祇王寺) the other day, and following on from yesterday's description of the wall construction at the temple, this leaf on top of one of the walls is something I noticed on the way out.

It seems so peaceful.

I've provided links to various desktop background sizes (for both standard and widescreen desktops) for your enjoyment.
