Yasaka Pagoda

Hokan-ji, Kyoto

Hokan-ji Temple is known colloquially as Yasaka-no-to, the Yasaka Pagoda, and it's on every photographer's list when visiting Kyoto. This is a three-exposure HDR at sunset. Somehow I managed to capture it with no people at peak time! The clouds formed a halo that frames the pagoda nicely. One of my favorite captures of the entire trip.
