These shots looking straight up never work right, though (at least when I take them -- jfriedl)

This might make a nice desktop background....	09-Nov-2005    10:07.54 AM	09-Nov-2005    10:08.24 AM A huge (3-meter?) tall stone lantern near the main gate of the Nanzen Temple, Kyoto Japan. I'd been there many times (it's a short walk from where I live), but had never noticed it becuase, I suppose, I was always paying attention to the main gate (see this shot, which was taken from the walkway seen behind the lantern in the current picture; the lantern is not visible in that shot, but is just off the right edge).
