Nara
Here we are in front of Todaji temple.  Inside is a 52 ft bronze buddah.  That's a whole lot of buddah!
And there he is...
This beautiful old guy is a wooden statue outside Todaji.  You were supposed to rub whatever ails you and then the same place on him and he would cure you.  I rubbed my wallet.
One of the 'famous' Nara deer.  They were very tame and kind of cute.
Kasuga grand shrine.  This shrine has something like 3000 lanterns on the grounds.  The outdoor lanterns were stone and as tall as a person.  Sadly it was pouring, so no pictures.
