An outside wall of Eikando-in Temple, Kyoto with a bed of the reddest of all Japanese shrubs.
And...on the other side of the wall a serene pond with an arched granite bridge in the background. It was Thursday 12th November and the Japaese Maples (Acer palmatum) were bringing forth all their Autumn glory of red and yellow.
A very large granite lantern with all the Japanese Maples in the background.
