Chionin Light Up

This is popular this time of year: Night-lighting the famous temples to highlight the fall colors (it is still fall here! We just passed the peak color season).

In this case, the pictures aren't as nice as the real thing. But maybe you can see the reflections in the water?



You could have tea served to you in this traditional tea-ceremony house.

There was a rock garden.
This is the main building of Chionin temple. It is huge...



There was a concert happening, under the huge gate at the bottom of these stairs.

At one of the side temples, people were lighting candles.
Our boys talked Daddy into buying a candle from this table.

Here are some little angel pictures for the grandparents:


What did you pray for, Alek?


A few more scenes...




Night viewing. Wish you were here....
