One more batch of striking photos of the temples Nanzenji (南禅寺) and Eikandō (永観堂) along the Eastern Mountain Range of Kyōto or the Path of Philosophy (哲学の道).
The first batch, including climbing up the huge gate of Nanzenji, is at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/115706568145190275
It hasn't been reported in the Japanese language news, but I heard sirens and ducked into the back of Nanzenji to walk along a little-known path along the mountainside by the old canal that runs from Lake Biwa to provide fresh water to Kyōto. But the rescue trucks went to the exact same place, and I saw rescue crew looking into the canal, and men going up with at least one stretcher. I didn't stick around, though, and I left, past gawking East Asian tourists. What did they want to see? I just wanted a contemplative walk, but it was an odd coincidence.

Climbing up the steep stairs to the top of the huge gate of Nanzenji, there was this bilingual sign, always good advice ;-)
The old aqueduct, part of the canal I mentioned, contrasts with the rest of the temple complex
Bamboo patch outside the major Zen temple Nanzenji
Maple leaves in early December in Japan.

🤠🐍 Indiana Jones vibes! The Egyptian pyramid-like ruins of an old and long-abandoned limestone quarry, swallowed by the forest. Somewhere in England.

🆕🚂🇬🇪 New location feature: Treacherous Train Carriage Bridge, Georgia
On the outskirts of a Georgian town, an old Soviet railway carriage lies across a river, repurposed as an unlikely pedestrian bridge. Rusted through in places, gaps and missing panels expose the turbulent water below.

A huge abandoned former hospital, somewhere in France 🇫🇷
This impressive building began as a seminary in the 1820s and later treated more than 8000 Belgian soldiers during the First World War. It also sheltered local families during the heavy bombing of the Second World War. The site then operated as a retirement home for ex-servicemen until its closure around the start of the 21st century.

After a large fire, this 19th-century residence is soot stained and collapsing. Somewhere in Belgium 🏰🇧🇪
Inside, a black piano stands against a soot-stained red wall, with a chandelier and scorched plaster mouldings above. In the kitchen, singed onions hang by the oven. There is also a dark living room where smoke stains cover the walls and mirrors.
