Taiyuin-byo Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Taiyuin-byo santuary, declared human world heritage by the UNESCO. The magic of the arquitecture with the nature as accomplice. This is the mausoleum of powerfull Tokugawa Iemitsu, third Soghun, grandson of the man that closed Japan to the international trade for a period of 200 years (with the only exception of Nagasaki). An explendid place to spend the day, easily reachable from Tokyo. I felt very, very small in this place, almost like an ant, but dont care about it. To be an ant from time to time is very healthy.

Hola Miguel,
It seems a delicate and meticulous work of architecture. That's good, because it's in harmony with nature. I can see it in your photo. Nice composition.
Saludos,
Leonor

Hi Miguel J'aime le point de vue que tu as pris et qui permet de donner l'impression que ce joyau d'architecture, entouré par des arbres élancés, s'élève vers le ciel -La composition centrée et symatrique n'est pas gênante puisque le monument est lui même symétrique -
Merci et bonne journée
Gaby

En la miniatura me pareció una cajita de música pero veo que es un edificio precioso. Los árboles de atrás de dan un hermoso toque pero parece que el encuadre está un poco forzado, demasiado cortado por abajo. Quizás estabas muy cerca del edificio y no podias alejarte más. Yo intentaría también correjir algo la perspectiva con la herramienta de Photoshop a ver cómo queda.

When I opened up your gallery the first response was good clean and crisp photos. This place in the middle of the forset I can see how it wold make you feel small. The Japanese love the outdoors and nature is an important aspect in their lives. Many have immigrated to Canada where there is lots of scenery and wide open spaces to enjoy. Last week I finished a series on a hiking trip up Mt Cheam. That will show you what I mean. Thanks for posting. I want to check out more of your work...with great photos.
Cheers Paul

I wish I could visit Japan. So I like this pic and I imagine the place.
Thanks to you.
