landscape of kyoto, shorenin

When visiting the temple in the pic, one of the biggest surprises was meeting the big camphor trees in the precinct. I met one of them in front of the main gate of Shorenin temple, located in the eastern part of Kyoto city. At the time, the tree made itself light orange-brown, maybe you can see the color of morning sun light being harmonious with the brown trunk in the pic, right.
It was a nice day without thick clouds bringing the chilly sleet just like the day before. I heard that the temple had a beautiful Japanese garden, but before going in, I knew it well.
