Autumn Comes to the Shrine ~ Beautiful Japan
Praying at the shrine is a more beautiful affair in autumn.
Not all are fully turned yet. You can see a lot of green in the left side. But trees that are where the light hits, wow, they are getting pretty!
This is at a somewhat hidden shrine. Those are bamboo trees you see in the background. Kannon-sama is in front of them. I really enjoy these shrines that are tucked away where you wouldn't necessarily expect to run into anything. The red leaves are just bonus! (but what a great bonus!)

Gorgeous. Love the bright and sharp leaves against the blurred background. The shrines in Japan are gorgeous - we're missing that element of the spiritual in Australia.
I think most of the western countries are missing this. Europe has some beautiful churches, but this mixture of nature and spiritual is very unique, I think.
Thank you for looking :)
Wooow! I like this photo very much. It looks like it belongs on the cover of the Japan Times!
Thank you 😃 You are too kind. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
