masks all round, originally uploaded by julesberry2001.

I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so...

Why? Because I didn't notice until later that everyone in the photo was wearing masks. I am not quite Japanese yet though, as I still cannot imagine why they were wearing masks in the clean air and uncrowded environment of a spacious Zen temple in Kamakura on a Saturday morning... The man at the back is quite alone, watering a not open to public part of the garden with a hosepipe.
