In situ

Built on what is arguably the most expensive real estate in the world, The Imperial palace of Japan is locked in time. This photo would pass (minus the cameras) for conditions in the 1940's and earlier. As a design, the symmetrical elements arranged in a linear fashion create a unified and cohesive structure that seems entirely appropriate to landscape and climate. The palace is only open twice a year (December and January) so it leaves a lot to the imagination.
