from far away

The sky was so blue high.
Walking through the red gate, I felt chilly wind came to my face, and my clothe went back.
Over there, I found the main temple called "kondo" which maybe meant "gold structure", but not looked gold.
Thinking about the statue and functions in this old, but re-newed structure was the only shortcut to find the clue of "gold".
Old, but re-newed.
The wooden structures were re-newed recently, except for the east tower.
But the oldest one is the "place" or, say, "sight", or "atmosphere" itself. The temple was just there as it was set in a far long time ago.
Here was Nara, Japan.
