@larryphotojournal.bsky.socialI had almost finished when I noticed the low afternoon light, so I walked back. It fell across the five coloured cloths, the wooden ema and the gold sign. You can see the pattern woven into the cloth.

@larryphotojournal.bsky.socialThe chain hanging from these eaves is a kusari-doi, a drainpipe carrying rainwater from the roof to the ground. They say it was made to be looked at from the start: the falling water is the point.

@vigneshn.inThere is this restaurant at #Chellanam in #Kochi called #Varambu (വരമ്പ്). You can choose to walk there but they'll take you there and bring you back in a small motorized boat (വഞ്ചി).

@larryphotojournal.bsky.socialDid you notice? She is smiling right at us, and there is a cub tucked against her chest. The mother wears a red cloth; the cub wears a child's bib with little bears printed on it.

@yosakoi-video.bsky.social@larryphotojournal.bsky.socialThe beams inside this gate are covered with paper slips, each one carrying a name. People who could not stay overnight to pray left one instead, as if they themselves were still standing there.

@larryphotojournal.bsky.socialThe first hall I stopped at was ringed with green, orange and red maple. Someone has thought hard about how this garden is planted. Through the gaps in the leaves, the hall felt old and simple.
