23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
a bonsai tree in the garden of a japanese shrine
I was walking around a shrine inn Kyoto, Japan, when I came across this bonsai tree. Most of the shrine was decorated in neutral, calming colors like brown, beige, and grey, and so the green of the tree here especially stood out. I had never seen a bonsai as large as this one before.
