Snowy Gardens of the Heian Shrine, Part III

Continuing with the Snowy Gardens of the Heian Shrine series (earlier parts: Part I, Part II) from last Sunday's snowy morning walk in Kyoto, we had just arrived at the garden's covered bridge when it started to snow again.

Quite coincidentally, a few days before I took these pictures, I happened to have posted some pictures of the gardens from last summer, including one of a bride having her picture taken at this spot:

Here's why that spot is popular:

Finally, here's a shot that's not particularly great, but I thought I'd share it because for some reason it really makes my eyes spin. It's almost as if it's been taken with a Lensbaby (a special-effects lens)...
