Nanzen Temple (continued)

This is not a concrete but sand, piled together to produce a shape of mountain.

Kyoto is famous for its beautiful colors in spring and autumn.  In most temples there are various type of trees, like cherry blossoms, maple trees, that change colors with the coming of new season.   

These colors reflected in the pond make beautiful pictures.  Unfortunately when i was there, most trees were lustfully green - a beautiful color but less gradation of various colors that you would be able to find in autumn.

If you come in summer, the color of leaves are even greener than springtime.  Weather will be hot and humid, therefore it is best to walk in sandals and wear short sleeves.
