A Morning at Iwami Ginzan

 

The World Heritage Site of Iwami Ginzan is only 30 kilometers from my home, and as I had friend who had a business there I used to visit often, even before it became a World Heritage site in 2007. All these photos are from one such trip. The first needs no explanation.


This is a window in a small seated shelter along the footpath that runs along the stream from the main parking area up the valley towards the mine...

The next photo is  of the Fudo Myo statue at the entrance to Seisuiji Temple.


The photo below needs no explanation...


The photo below is a lightshade at my friends shop that seems to be based on the Japanese umbrella


The next couple of shots are of some flower displays along the main street of Omori;


I recently posted another set of such shots taken on a May 5th visit.


Below is a gate into the garden of a wealthy merchant's property.


No explanation need for the photo below....


A different photo of the some scene shown below is in a post I did on the facades of Omori.


Some other earlier posts on Iwami Ginzan include these posts on the Fall colours....
