World's Oldest

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 8 May 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture.

This building, at Horyugi Temple near Nara, is the oldest wooden temple building in the world. Although the exact date of its construction is sketchy, it is around 1,400 years old and has survived fires and earthquakes.

a little too much unfocus for me. But a very nice place.

(why do you put only one picture in your portfolio ? it is a shame because viwer can see allyour work).
