Description
Ever have a day with so much fun perhaps what was being experienced was illegal? I did. It was on an adventure with a small group of senior Japanese to Koyasan in the mountains not far from Osaka, Japan. From the tram ride up and down the mountain location to the lunch prepared and served by monks sitting on the pillows in a room with very traditional Japanese decor to dozens of beautiful buildings, not to mention the walkthrough ancient cedars to enter one of the most sacred temples in Japan. The comradery surrounded by sunshine and cool clear crisp mountain air was a perfect combination. Within the sacred area, my moods changed from one area to another. One minute happy, excited, upbeat among structures of multicolored architectural details. The next somber, muted, contemplative walking down a winding path through a cemetery with thousands of ancient moss-covered stones. I am always awed by being in places that have been in existence hundreds even thousands of years before the United States became a country. The basis of this photo painting is a reference picture taken of the Pagoda outside the cemetery, provoking an upbeat mood.
