What a wonderful display this must have been!

Paul Tait, about 1 year ago

Thank you Mel
Yes the orange torii’s wound their way up the mountain side amongst the maple trees and bamboo. I could have stayed there the whole day!

nikuyakun, about 1 year ago

Really great photo Paul!

I really wanted to visit this place on my trip to Kansai, but unfortunately time was short.

Paul Tait, about 1 year ago

Thank you nikuyakun!
I hunted this place down – I have so many fond memories of Japan

Daniel Neuhaus, about 1 year ago

Fantastic Photo Paul. Love the colour, it’s so basic, yet so complex!

Paul Tait, about 1 year ago

Thanks Daniel – The colour attracted me too

Stephen Mitchell, about 1 year ago

Well composed. I like how you’ve used the paving below to dictate the horizon, not the wood above.

Paul Tait, about 1 year ago

Thank you Stephen – I actually had to use a slow shutter speed to capture this and hence have some photos where people came around the corner – leaving a blur in the photo. If people are keen I could upload that version too.

Jenny Davis, about 1 year ago

love this fantastic colour and composition

Michael D'Andr..., about 1 year ago

I think I’ve been to where this was taken. Japan is a magical place. Great shot!

Cathleen Taraw..., about 1 year ago

I love the tilt; gives your wonderful shot an edge.

Deri Dority, about 1 year ago

Wow, this is incredible. The colors and the DOF, I can see why you had to use a slow shutter speed. Great job!!

Paul Tait, about 1 year ago

I’m a sad case when I travel. most pleople take a good book… I take my tripod! Thank you all for your very positive comments.
Michael – this was taken a short train journey outside of Kyoto

John Douglas, about 1 year ago

I took some video walking thorugh here – fun to play back at different speeds. Nice photo, captures the space and lines very well. Evocative I think is the word I am looking for!

Paul Tait, about 1 year ago

Thank you Mark

David Barnes, about 1 year ago

Hi Paul,

this is an outstanding image. The slightly-off angles and possibly camera tilt are just beautifully wonky. The writing adds texture and “3d-ness” to the posts and the soft orange light on the path adds atmosphere and depth. Totally unforgettable, this is just fantastic. Fave’d.

– David.
