The Sacred Verticality of Nachi Falls This photograph captures the breathtaking confluence of architectural precision and natural power at the Seiganto-ji temple complex in Wakayama, Japan. The composition is dominated by the vibrant vermilion Sanjūdō Pagoda, its three tiers of sweeping roofs leading the eye toward the misty backdrop. To the right, Nachi Falls—Japan’s tallest single-drop waterfall—plummets down a sheer rock face, its white, ethereal curtain of water creating a vertical counterpoint to the horizontal lines of the pagoda's balconies. The integration of the man-made structure with the waterfall illustrates the Shinto and Buddhist belief in the sanctity of the natural landscape.

Nachi falls, Wakayama, Japan.

Kinoshita’s careful consideration of Yoshiko Kuga’s adorable high elven ears: both, right, left, none. Such a fabulous actress — my fave after Tanaka, Hara, Takamine

Sizable snapping turtle named Harlequin under the canal water w great reflections on surface.

“Repent Ticktockman!” Said the Harlequin

(Harlequin seems a good name for a snapping turtle?)

Awesome

I’ve got the footage of their scandalous pleine air mating (posted) & they have been looking for a nest so my guess is Bonnie thinking about that green planter
