I've never used a ruler for these challenges, guess I must do an ok job if you didn't notice it. :P
I do feel like I improved compared to the first few week, especially on the longer lines.

i don't know how fast I was the first weeks, but lately it is somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes.
But it helps for the lines that aren't straight, but curved.

This might be the last one I participate in, shame I couldn't go out with something better.

There's one solution to making a better last one... Don't give up! :)
I like it, I like the fact that the lines are "hidden", gives it a nice touch.

Left out the ground lines under the pavilion, if not ok, I can try to add them.
2nd picture for those interested in the entire turtle.

I thought you are going to put the turtle instead of the phoenix at the top :) That's surprising, and very nice.

Well done on the reflection. And I like the soft colours of everything. Reminds me of a much better version of mine before I added all the different overlays.

Ah, i didn't expect the counter to start counting upwards afterward, so i saw ... 01h ... and thought, one hour left. Ok, i wasn't motivated this week any way^^'

That counter confuses me as well. :P I think it should change color or add a minus in front of the hour when it's over.

The Golden Pavilion Challenge!
Where: Kyoto, Japan
What: Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺 - "Temple of the Golden Pavilion") or Rokuon-ji (formal name - 鹿苑寺 - "Deer Garden Temple") is a Zen Buddhist temple in northern Kyoto, Japan.
Interesting facts:
The pavilion is three stories high, approximately 12.5 meters in height. Top two floors are completely covered in approximately 48 kilograms of gold leaf, inside and out. Each floor represents a different style of architecture: The first floor is built in the Shinden style used for palace buildings during the Heian Period. The second floor is built in the Bukke style used in samurai residences. The third floor is built in the style of a Chinese Zen Hall and is capped with a golden phoenix.
The building's first purpose was to serve the retiring Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1409) as a residence. The gold-leaf-adorned building was converted into a Zen temple shortly after his death.
It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a mentally ill monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.
The pavilion extends over a pond, called Kyōko-chi (鏡湖池 - "Mirror Pond") set in a Japanese strolling garden. The pond contains stones that are symbols of the Buddhist creation story. Location of the garden implements the idea of borrowing of scenery ("shakkei") that integrates the outside and the inside, creating an extension of the views surrounding the pavilion and connecting it with the outside world.
Golden Pavilion is one of the key historic sites in Japan that attracts a lot of tourists every year.
You can see Kinkaku-ji live on it's official website here.
One more thing. If you'd like to Learn Japanese, try solving the Golden Pavilion Mystery.
GOOD LUCK on the challenge! Create for us some breath-taking Pictures of the The Golden Pavilions for some awesome GA wins!
