Kumano Shrine Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, Japan

18 Oct 2009 3 5 299
Kumano Shrine is a type of Shinto Shrine. Kumano Sanzan The three Kumano Sanzan shrines are the Sōhonsha ("head shrines") of all Kumano shrines and lie between 20 to 40 km from each other. They are connected to each other by the pilgrimage route known as "Kumano Sankeimichi". The great Kumano Sanzan complex also includes two Buddhist temples, Seiganto-ji and Fudarakusan-ji. The religious significance of the Kumano region goes back to prehistoric times and therefore predates all modern religions in Japan. The area was, and still is, considered a place of physical healing. Each shrine initially had its own separate form of nature worship, but in the 10th century, under the influence of Buddhism, the three came to be worshiped together as the three deities of Kumano.

Chiang Rai Clock Tower, Chiang Mai Province

26 Dec 2008 10 11 488
Designed by Thai artist Chalermchai Khositpipat and unveiled in 2008 in honour of His Majesty the King, Chiang Rai’s elaborate golden clocktower (Hoh Nalika Chalerm Prakiat) is a work of art and tourist attraction in its own right. Chalermchai was the man who built the White Temple in Chiang Rai and that same distinctive architectural style from Wat Rong Khun can be seen again with the clocktower. The structure serves as a traffic roundabout and whilst it is distinctive enough during the day, the clocktower and setting takes on a whole new quality when it is lit up in the evening.

Moulin Rouge, Paris as a Tribute

15 Nov 2015 22 37 683
From Wikipedia, The Belle Époque was a period of peace and optimism marked by industrial progress, and a particularly rich cultural exuberance was about at the opening of the Moulin Rouge. I hope this will be accepted as a fitting Tribute.

Suizenji Garden 02

09 Oct 2006 3 5 163
Photographed in Kumamoto Oct, 09 2006. Using my Canon PowerShot A710 IS Digital camera. Suizen-ji Jōju-en is a tsukiyama Japanese garden located within (Suizen-ji Park Suizen-ji Kōen?) in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The main tsukiyama is a representation of Mount Fuji. Lord Hosokawa Tadatoshi began construction of the garden in 1636 as a tea retreat. The park was named after a no-longer-extant Buddhist temple called Suizen-ji, and now hosts the Izumi Shrine, where members of the Hosokawa family are enshrined, and a Nōgaku-dō, a Noh theatre. Lord Hosokawa selected this site because of its spring-fed pond, which clean water was excellent for tea. The thatched Kokin-Denju-no-Ma teahouse was originally in Kyoto's Imperial Palace, but was moved here in 1912. The garden has been declared by the national government a historic site of scenic beauty. Information courtesy Wikipedia © Respected. John.
