The Buddha in the Maples
The Kamakura Daibutsu can be seen from a distance due to the size. I’d like to see the Giant Buddha through these Japanese Maples when they are turning colors in the fall.
Moss-covered, stone lantern
Nothing was in bloom for this scene at Hasedera in Kamakura, but blooms aren’t always necessary to make the scene in the land of the gods.
Obama was here – Giant Buddha Kamakura Daibutsu
President Obama visited the Kamakura Daibutsu yesterday. He didn’t see the blue sky or shadows caused by the sun on the Buddha’s face (like I did above), but the Buddha looks great in any season or weather.
Kamakura Fireworks from Enoshima
As mentioned yesterday, we lucked out and happened to catch an unexpected fireworks display. Our original plan for the day was to hang out on the beach near Enoshima, head in to Kamakura to see the Daibutsu (as the kids had yet to see him), and then head back to Enoshima for the sunset. We stuck with the original plan but hoped to get back to Kamakura in time for the fireworks. We didn’t have enough time to get back so we ended up watching the show from Enoshima. The view wasn’t bad and there were no crowds, but the show would have been far more spectacular from Kamakura.
