Kyoto in Shades of Gray; September Moon over Myoshinji Temple


The first evening Horikitsune-san and I spent at Shunkoin Temple (Myoshinji Rinzai Zen Temple Complex) in Kyoto we went for a walk around the grounds before dinner. We were struck with the beauty of the moonlight pouring down over the serene buddhist temple landscape. We made desperate attempts to capture it with our cameras and sometimes we came pretty close.
I distinctly remember the feeling of being in some woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
