We brought some coffee and tasty bread, parked the bikes, and walked around a bit. We've been there many times, and this time was only a short visit, but in addition to the funny picture shown in an earlier post, it yielded a few nice shots as well:

The huge (three meter tall?) stone lantern near the main gate.

Behind me is the “main gate” of the temple (which is inside the compound; it's not an entrance)

Fumie inspecting the foliage.

For some reason, I really like this shot of an old lady cleaning leaves. She swept them with a traditional bamboo broom into the untraditional plastic dust pan, then dumped them into the blue bin. Repeat until Winter.

My attempt at an artistic shot of an elevated walkway between two buildings. It spans a gap under which is a narrow stone stairwell leading to the back. These buildings are in the north-eastern corner of the temple area. (Closeup of stairs)

You can see all photos from the day at my photo site.

(Also see more foliage pictures in this post from later in the month.)
