Photo of the Day
Golden Pavilion
The sun lights up the gold leaf that adorns Kinkaku-ji, a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. While the site dates back to the 14th century, the current pavilion was built in the 1950s after the original burned down. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
