The Rain Temple by Jesse Waugh

The Rain Temple: Et in Arcadia ego is a movie which I constructed in an attempt to recreate the feeling I felt as a child when I went to the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. There was no more beautiful place in the world than the Japanese Tea Gardens in the rain. ​

The Rain Temple was filmed at the Temple of Arcadia on The Path of Enlightenment in Torrigiani Gardens in Florence, Italy, ​during a March rainstorm, 2013.
