One of the many waterways/canals in Kyoto *Japan

The Ryoan-ji temple... the "Thinkers"/stone garden was built as a resting, relaxing retreat for the guests staying at the temple... odly, you d end up wondering if they nicked the "chuckies" from the beach (like mum and dad) ;-)

a typical Japanese garden, the huge pond reflects all the sunlight and imagery in the area - simply beautiful!!
