Nara is home to a huge Buddha statue (even larger than the one we saw in Kamakura) housed in the world&#8217;s largest and oldest wooden structure. (I wonder about the &#8220;largest&#8221; assertion, though; I thought that the old blimp hangars in Oregon were the largest wooden structures.) It&#8217;s also home to about 1000 sacred deer which roam freely in the park and are completely nonchalant about the presence of humans. I have to finish packing so I&#8217;m going to post the following photos without further comment. We leave for the long journey home tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2195.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2195\" height=\"450\" width=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2238.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2238\" height=\"450\" width=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2253.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2253\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2271.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2271\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2288.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2288\" height=\"450\" width=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2291.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2291\" height=\"450\" width=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2311.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2311\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2349.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2349\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2352.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2352\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2368.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2368\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2480.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2480\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2484.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2484\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2595.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2595\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2628.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2628\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2540.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2540\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/studionebula.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/img-2562.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 2562\" height=\"338\" width=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That last photo was taken in a Noh theater which we visited briefly at lunchtime.<\/p>\n<p>This may well be my last posting from Japan, unless I find some spare time tomorrow morning.
