A few days ago, I went for a bike ride to Nara and stopped by at the Great Eastern Temple of Nara: Tōdai-ji! The precincts of this temple are large and one can spend a lot of time here in a relaxed atmosphere. Its a popular destination for schools all around Japan and the pupils use the occasion to practices their english on the foreign tourists. It was a fine autumn day, not to hot not to cold, perfect for one of my most favourite pass times, shooting pics. As you enter the Daibutsuden, said to be one of the largest wooden buildings in the world, the main massive Buddha figure – usually known as Daibutsu –jumps into your vision, flanked by smaller ones to the side.
