The ravens fighting over a fish



The Bamboo Palace


Being under the canopy of a bamboo forest is a very unique experience


Stone lantern covered in moss





Looking up. The way light is filtered by the canopy adds to the experience


Using horse drawn carriages is considered inhumane


Daibutsu - the giant buddah

Water to clean your hands before praying. Pretty sure Will was not supposed to swish it around and then spit it back into the fountain.


A special ceremony was being held while we were at the temple




These insturments sound very much like bagpipes. I was mezmerized.





The wardrobes were amazing
