Travel Photos Series#15-Sunset at Kiyomizudera Temple, Kyoto

Sunset at Kiyomizudera Temple

I captured this photo at one of my favorite temples-Kiyomizudera Temple at my most recent trip to Kyoto, Japan. We did not intend to visit the temple on that day but never regret our decision to do so. We were just in time to witness the amazing sunset embracing the surrounding ravishing autumn red leaves and ancient temple structure.

The first time Alison and I visited this temple was  more than a decade ago during the Sakura blossom period. It was a different setting but similarly beautiful. We had never forgotten this temple since. It was really a wonderful feeling to be back here this time with our daughter-Charlotte.

Travel Photos Series#14-The Temple of a Thousand Faces (The Bayon Temple of Cambodia)

The Bayon Temple

I would never forget this temple after my visit to Siem Reap, Cambodia in Year 2013. Although Angkor Wat is the "star"temple where many tourists rush to visit, please do not miss the Bayon temple. Upon setting eyes on the facade of the temple, you will seemingly feel thousand of faces smiling at you. I had the lasting impression that the temple was greeting and welcoming me to it's premises.

Read my trip to Siem Reap and review of the sacred temples here. This photo was taken on 7 June 2013.

Travel Photos Series#13-A Traditional Japanese Wedding Procession

Traditional Japanese Wedding Procession

I went to Meiji Jingu Shrine at Tokyo with a main purpose. It was to witness a traditional Japanese wedding at the popular religious site. I was not disappointed as there were many wedding processions taking place on that day (1 June 2014). Though Japan is a modern country, traditional practices and cultures still hold  important places in many Japaneses'hearts.
