Zojoji Temple, Tokyo – Autumn
Just a few random pictures from Zojoji Temple from Saturday. It is located next to Tokyo Tower so you have quite a spectacular combination of modern and ancient. And to make the point I am starting with the first picture – the temple (part of it), the ginko and the tower:

Another one. This time slightly more of the roof of the temple and the red sceleton of the tower behind.
.
More of the temple and the autumn colors of the trees:
.
The maple tree behind the old wooden port.
.
The stone with the red ivy on it (distance shot).
.
And close shot:
The Jizos.
These are Jizo. Statues of the dead children, stillborn or aborted fetuses. It is really said but they always have beautiful colorful windmills:
And some of the rest of the Jizos.
There are many of them:
Some more of the photos.
Buddha (may be) and red momiji.
Again – nature (the branches of the trees), ancient temple and modern structures (the Tower). One of the most common compositions in Zojoji.
