valley of the temples

the byodo-in temple is most certainly one of oahu's best kept secrets. located in the valley of the temples at the base of the ko'olau mountains, the temple is a full scale replica of the byodo-in temple in kyoto. amazingly - it was constructed without any nails!

serene and peaceful...

not a single nail...

in black and white...

the coy pond...

they would eat from your hand...

they certainly weren't scared of people...

peace!
