a temple town 3 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the entrance gate of Hase-Dera (The Temple of Hase), the head temple of the Buzan School of Mystic Buddhism. It's said that this temple is founded in the 8th century, but this entrance building is reconstructed in the 19th century after a fire.

You have to up long stone steps from this gate to the main hall of the temple.

Hi Keitaro.
I like Hase-dera Temple and the neighboring towns.
I feel so that there is an atmosphere different from a certain temple in Nara-City there.
I feel like walking a unknown town.
It is the reason why I like Hase-dera Temple.

Yours sincerely, Takahiro

Good upward pov with great composition & excellent sharpness. Just a slight pity about the white sky. The people add scale & context. Tfs!
