A Glimpse Of The Gold

Kyoto, Japan view map

Although I've been to Japan some times before, I didn't come to Kyoto. Therefore, I was very eager to see and photograph Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavilion again! Unfortunately, and without any previous warning in those days with not too much internet, it was under deep repairs, and completely covered in plastics...

But, in fact, if I had to choose from all my 1000's, this might be my best photograph!
...the part, as an whole!
And, as usual with me, mostly done on camera!

1/400s f/17.0 at 420.0mm
w/TC 14E, 1.4x full exif

I was lucky that both times I went it was not being repaired or anything. I was not so lucky my second visit to Himeji where the famous castle was surrounded with scaffolding. I like this shot. I someday need to scan some of mine. ~V~
