landscape of kyoto, ninna-ji

I'm in Ninna-ji, kyoto, and seeing the silver shinning garden made by a myriad of small stones and short trees partly planted. The cloud in the light blue sky is coming from the north with bringing flakes of snow. The breeze may be cooler than ever in the year.
I pay 500 yen (JPN), about $4.5 (USD), to enter the part of the wooden structures consisting of Ninna-ji, old temple near in north ward of Kyoto city. When I enter the nearest Japanese construction from the main gate, I meet the silver garden. I just sit on the floor, and for a while just look at the garden, sky, and cloud without thinking anything.
Here is Ninna-ji, Kyoto.
