The great reception hall at Shibamata Taishakuten, a Buddhist temple, set in a traditional Japanese garden. You actually walk round the garden on a covered walkway of wood - you leave your shoes at the entrance and walk in your socks (as a Swede I am quite familiar to the concept of not wearing shoes indoors, but this was a new experience even for me, and as this was in December, it was a bit cold for the toes). Very contemplative and very beautiful. The garden was created in 1965, and the reception hall dates to 1929.
Shibamata Taishakuten was founded in 1629 - but the buildings in the area are generally from the early 20th century. The inner shrine of the Taishakudo (Taishaku temple hall) was finished in 1915 and the hall of worship 1929. The temple is centred around the worship of Taishakuten (sometimes called just Taishaku - written 帝釈天 or 帝釈 respectively), the Japanese name for Sakra devanam Indra (that is, the god Indra, known from Hinduism).

I keep meaning to share this one, but just haven't. I took it nearly three years ago (I have a huge and varied backlog).
This is a pano of a scene in Douglas County, Washington. All of this is, very sadly, private land. It's not farmable or really even grazable, but it's private and off limits. I'd love to see that change someday, and maybe it will.
The landscape was formed by glacial activity during the last ice age. The hill is likely glacial till, while the boulders were either carried by the ice or possibly encased in iceberg and rafted to where they now rest.
Most of the boulders are basalt, though there is probably a bit of granite in there too. Without trespassing or permission, it's hard to tell what is what.

Freightliner 'Shed' 66588 runs the gauntlet of Friday night passengers and station staff as it rumbles slowly through Reading's platform 8 with the 6.34pm Churchyard Sidings - Whatley Quarry discharged aggregate hoppers (6V51).
Most freight is scheduled to run through platforms 12 and 13 (and, occasionally, 15) but keeping an eye on the virtual signal diagram while staying close to the footbridge can pay dividends for those last minute platform changes - as happened here.
In what is now a mostly rebuilt station, I do like the way the main legacy building has been retained and incorporated into the new structure - a comforting link to the station's heritage. Note too the homage to the station's previous name, Reading General, on the large-scale totem at right. Have to say I thought the 'General' name was given to the station much earlier during Great Western Railway ownership rather than post the 1948 nationalisation, but I could be mistaken.
What isn't in doubt are the sheer numbers of passengers using the facility - some 17million in the year prior to Covid. And, while current numbers are still well down on that, catching a train for the 36 mile ride to London, even in the mid-morning off-peak period, can still be a sardine-like experience.
I also noted that the line at platform 8 is roughly where the through line was in the 1970s. This was where the daily joy could be experienced of a Western passing through the station at speed at the head of the Up "Cornish Riviera Ltd'. Heady days for diesel-hydraulic spotters and snappers alike!
For this image I've opted to not over-egg the lighting, but instead keep it similar to the levels it actually was.

The wedding reception was held at a gazebo not too far from the chapel. It was a lovely spot with lots of trees and flowers.
This is from my last trip out, I had problems getting reception. Standing on this boulder I finally got enough reception to send a text, and check the latest aurora forecast. Remember you are always welcome to drop by my Facebook page for more pictures. www.facebook.com/GauteFroysteinPhotography

My Barbies gathered for the reception of Generations of Dreams Barbie. She is a must have for a collector and arrived today! We were really amazed by her beauty, but mainly Mike. He just couldn't step away... :))

it is the intersection of the main gate before State Guest House. But it has been named "Yotsuya High School". I liked the sense of the person named.

この日は #extrabokeh をあちこちで撮ってきたので、ちょっと口直しに撮ってみました。
この交差点に「四谷中学校前」っていう名前をつけるセンスが気に入りました。
