Photographer’s Note

Located at the shrine of Itsukushima at the island of Miyajima, this Torii is one of the most emblematic sites in Japan. This sacred gate was built back in 1875 and is 16 meters tall. When the tide is low you can approach and walk around, nevertheless what I do like was this group of scholars waiting for their teacher to make them a photo. Not only they gave the scale of the monument, also a human touch... Yesterday I promesed a landscape, this is kind of, I hope you like it because it was one of the nicer moments in my travel to the est. This photo was taken the day before of the 60th anniversary of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima (the island is in front of the city), a conmemration I show in my first photo of Japan here in TE.

Ps: You can see another view of this site in a photo made by other TE member MaJose. I think you are going to like it.
