Nanzenji - 南禅寺

This temple, Nanzenji, is close to my apartment here in Kyoto and is one of my favorite spots. In Autumn, the city is spectacular with the turning leaves and this temple is no exception. I keep returning here again and again and never seem to tire of the place (so be prepared for multiple posts from here!) ;-)
I took this shot last Fall when the leaves were particularly good. This year the weather has been a little unusual - it got cooler then warmer then cooler again - and the maple trees don't seem to like it.
