On an overnight layover in Tokyo, I took a train into the city to visit the Tokyo Tower and enjoy a walk after a 14-hour flight. My route took me past the Zojoji Temple and part of its gardens
I was struck by the evening light effects and the tranquility, despite its location on a busy street and near the tower. I was also taken a bit by the contrast between the muted tones of the scene at the top and the brightly-colored displays of pinwheels, dolls and plastic flowers only steps away.
