A rainy day at Todai-ji, Nara. Two female figures in kimono carry umbrellas as they walk past the Kagame-ike (Mirror Pond) just behind the Daibutsu-den (Hall of the Great Buddha). A string of tall wiry pine trees line up along the edge of the pond; beyond, details of the tall multi-layered Daibutsu-den are indistinct in the gloom. The sky above is overcast, and light rain falls on the scene; in the foreground, the still surface of the pond reflects the scene

Today we did a walking tour of the #Nara temple district.

Our first stop was to Daibutsu-den (The Great Buddha Hall) which is absolutely huge. It is one of the world's largest all wooden buildings, which is part of the Tōdai-ji temple complex.
