The Heian Shrine, Kyoto

I hope that you are still enjoying my photos taken in Japan, as much as I enjoy sharing them with you. For me, it is like re-living the experience of the wonderful time I had in Japan.

Heian Shrine is another beautiful place in Japan. The main building is shown in the above photo. You may notice that the colour is slightly different from Chinese temples. In Japan, temples are an orangey shade of red.

A beautiful bridge across the lake at Heian Shrine. It was a hot and sunny day, and many people were on the bridge to enjoy the shade and to rest.

Beautiful trees around the lake are being propped up by sticks…

There is a section planted with irises too. And some animals that call the lake their home.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend.
