As I mentioned the other day in the post about an outing with Vaughn\nHart<\/a> to the mountains of north-western Kyoto, we stopped by a simple,<\/span>\nunassuming rural shrine. The entrance<\/span> to the immediate shrine area was through a small<\/span>\nlittle wooden gate, seen here at the top of the steps Vaughn is standing on...<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D700 + Nikkor 50mm f\/1.4 @ 50 mm — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>800 sec, f<\/span>\/1.4, ISO 220 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\nSimple Entrance to the Toufuu Shrine<\/span>\nVaughn pauses to soak it in\n<\/div>\n\n

You can't see them in the photo above, but the gate actually has doors, propped open at the moment...<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D700 + Voigtl\u00e4nder 125mm f\/2.5 — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>500 sec, f<\/span>\/5.6, ISO 720 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\nReverse-Angle Shot<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n

Something about the carving at the top of the gate caught my eye. The light<\/span> was just wonderful for it... strong shadows, yet somehow soft....<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D700 + Voigtl\u00e4nder 125mm f\/2.5, cropped — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>500 sec, f<\/span>\/5.6, ISO 1100 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n

The carving is much less complex than that seen in this post<\/a> about a\nsimilarly<\/span>-unassuming shrine not too far away a bit<\/span> deeper in the mountains,\nbut at the same time this gate's carving seems more elegant, yet not at all\nopulent or lavish, as might be found in a well<\/span>-funded city shrine. I liked<\/span> it.<\/p>\n\n
