Okay, here are the real Nara photos.



Three Things for which Nara is Famous: Tourists, tame deer, and the world's oldest wooden building, only part of which you can see here.

The deer, by the way, are kind of mangy, and they make a noise I hadn't expected deer to make--a high squealing noise overlaid with buzzing, or vice versa. For a while we were concerned that they were going to explode, but fortunately not.

Deer were traditionally considered messengers to the gods, and they roam freely here, at Miyajima, and other sacred sites.



The main part of the building. It looks even larger than I remember. Can you spot the people in this photo?



A priest speaking with someone, and a small part of the massive doors.
