44 more days until I’m back in my summer “home”.

What’s the largest castle in the world?

Prague Castle

According to Guinness the largest is Prague Castle, pictured above. Malbork Castle is actually larger, but Guinness has some reason, I suppose, for not counting it.

Prague’s Old Town Hall

Prague's Old Town Hall

After today’s photo was taken the building and clock underwent a renovation which was the situation when I was there in 2017. The renovation was recently completed so I’m excited to see the result and to go to the top for the first time this August.

Kusho Myojin @ Ninnaji

九所明神

Today’s photo is from Kyoto, Japan. The interesting thing (to me) about these buildings is that even though they are on the site of a Buddhist temple (Ninnaji), they are Shinto in design. These three buildings hold nine gods and have been doing so since 1644. The stone lanterns in front come from the 17th Century as well.
