Gåsgränd (Swedish: “Goose Alley”) is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. This road was initially named after a woman Ragnhild Grågås who lived there in 1492. She was accused for incest and was sentenced to banishment from the capital for defamation. The attention of the Stockholm towards her case led to the initial naming of the alley as “Alley of the Grey-Goose”.

Kiyomizu-dera was founded in the early Heian period. The temple was founded in 778, and its present buildings were constructed in 1633, ordered by the Tokugawa Iemitsu. There is not a single nail used in the entire structure. It takes its name from the waterfall within the complex, which runs off the nearby hills. Kiyomizu means clear water, or pure water.

Hope you guys like it
