Byodo-In Temple Reflection in Pond, Uji, Kyoto, Japan

A traditional Japanese Phoenix Hall (Fukaku-do) stands majestically amidst autumn foliage at Byodo-In temple complex near Uji city, Kyoto Prefecture. The hall's red and white facade is reflected perfectly into the serene pond that surrounds it, complemented by an elegant curved bridge over its edge. Autumn leaves of yellow and orange hues add warmth to this picturesque scene under a partly cloudy sky.
