Weekend trip with Aesthetics engineering lab

As students at a Japanese University we were assigned to a professor and his lab. Our professor is Kimura sensei, and the students in our lab are structural engineers. Our lab doesn't really do field trips but downstairs the aesthetics lab do, and Kimura sensei (K-dawg as we like to call him) was kind enough to ask them to take us along.

We set out in three cars on a terrible rainy Saturday morning. I slept and when i woke up we had arrived. I'm not exactly sure where we went really... but the first place we visited was called Dazaifu Tenman-gū.


We first headed to some temple places, i love Japanese architecture so it was fun to see. The weather sucked though but we had to make the best of a bad situation:


This is the front garden of a house where you sat in the veranda and peacefully gaze out into the backyard. It was really pretty
