After awaking at the Kyoto Tower Hotel we went to Nijou Castle. Shogun was living there. Some great painting inside but we can't take picture inside. All those details inside reminded me the one we can find in churches. Even if I don't follow any religion, I love to see the great achitectural work they do in that kinda of places.
I love those roofs!!
A lot of works in those roofs. It was a bit cold out there also. Since in Québec we don't have any historical bulding older that 75 years old...it's fantastic to see very old stuff. Imagining that people from more than 100 years ago probaly watched also the same building as I did thinking about the meaning of life and death.
Also great scenaries. It's so calm that we can imagine sleeping on the grass next to a place like that.
Next is Golden Pavillon. We can't go inside at all. They show some pictures about the inside. This pavillon is really small but cute. Since it's gold, I'm sure it's protected 24/24. Perfect scenaries for an historical drama.
At the end of the first day we went to Arashiyama to walk through this bambou forest. We don't have any bambou in Canada. It was interesting to see how it's growing and the roots. A really quite place. I enjoyed it a lot.

Actually, we do have buildings dating back at least 300 years in Quebec; we just don't see them amist the modern buildings of the city. But of course, it's a new world, so it can't be compare with the beauty of the ancient.
