The entrance way to Ise Jingu (Naiku)The entrance to Ise Jingu Naiku leads over a wooden bridge with beautiful mountain viewsA glimpse of the mountains and lake below. The air was really fresh and clean hereThe pathways inside Ise Jingu were wide open and gave a very relaxed atmosphere Some great trees in the surrounding gardensPlenty of Mons and gravel pathwaysLots of walking involved around Ise Jingu
Cleansing the hands before offering prayers You can go down to the stream and play in the water as this child was doing. Great on a hot day
Walking past some of the main buildings, used for selling charms and giftsVery peaceful and relaxed even though it was a hot day and lots of people aroundBeautiful architectureClimbing the steps to the main shrineIt got crowded here with many people stopping to offer prayersLiked the green roof cover hereBeautiful wooden bridges crossing this small stream areaBack in the main river, a group of people were enjoying the cool waterWalking back to the main entrance
Love the site. I miss Japan so much, can’t wait to go back next year. Looks like all these were shot in AP at f/1.4 and iso200, some of them are over-exposed and others have distracting blur; maybe you’re experimenting with a new lens but you should try a couple stops down on wider pan shots especially during the day with good light, and the shots with people moving in the foreground.
Great place to be.
Green, peaceful, quiet (I hope).
So, making up your mind on changing continent? Or old Rising Sun still has something to give?
Anyway it’ll be “drugstore monday” 🙂
