Ancient Chinese Architecture, so it was drizzling
A glimpse into Chinese aesthetics and their relation with nature: a lot of geometric components in round and square motifs.
On the four edges of the square opening to the left and around the window panes on the right, the lines there as a whole denote clouds from the sky; and the curving ridge of the roof-- unlike those Gothic cathedrals pointing right into heaven-- reminds us instead of the curving fingers of Indian and court dancers.
They opened up and were very close to nature despite the fact that it rains and even snows there in winter. Other than planting trees and bamboos ( here just above the square opening on the left ) in their courtyards, they preferred bare stones from mother nature as art pieces ( in the case here, one on each side of the chamber on the right ) something that Japan has taken up to a certain extent...
"Interesting looking glass perspective and soft monochrome tones give the impression of being transported back in time.Magical capture."
