Japan - Temple Life, Among Skyscrapers

This pic, also in Tokyo, shows the old-style temple architecture nestled among the skyscrapers of the city.  A little skewing to straighten the sides of the building against the edges of the photo was necessary to give it proper symmetry.

I love juxtaposing the old with the new, and will never forget a photo I saw in a Spanish college textbook at SFA way back when.  The professor - an excellent teacher named Ignacio Muñoz - pointed out the contrast between an aqueduct in some Spanish city that was built in ancient times, with modern skyscrapers showing through the tall archways.  Stuck for some reason, and occasionally now I'll search for similar opportunities.
