Description
The Byodo-in Buddhist Temple located in the Valley of the Temples on Oahu, Hawai'i.This temple is actually a full-scale replica of the Byodo-in Temple near Kyoto, Japan. More info can be found here ->[link]
This was such an amazing and tranquil place. I had never been here before and I am glad I was able to make it here twice during my trip. If you are planning a vacation to Oahu and have never been here before, I highly recommend visiting it.
The only problem I had was getting a decent shot. I had to wait a long time until everyone moved out of the way and as soon as that time came, I had to quickly take the photo before another person moved in and ruined it. I wish the trees were not in the frame, but a good composition was hard to come by in the midst of waiting to snap a shot with no people in it. Rain was also a factor so let's just say I am pretty content that I was able to capture this scene.

Thanks! You probably did. Lost was filmed on parts of this island. A couple of years ago I was in Hawaii and saw the set where the airplane crash was.
