If the pic above looks familiar, it's because I had<\/span> a portrait<\/span> version\nof it on “An\nAmazing Day of Photography at Some Eastern-Kyoto Temples<\/a>” back in\nApril. I was rummaging<\/span> around in my Lightroom catalog today and got\ndepressed at how many posts are waiting for me to get around to them\n— I have<\/span> so much I want<\/span> to share — so I thought<\/span> I'd start with\na few<\/span> more from the morning of the photogenic stroll that produced that post.<\/p>\n\n

Having recently posted “Trying Some Hard-Edged Black and White<\/a>”, I thought<\/span> I see<\/span>\nwhat I could<\/span> do with an otherwise boring shot from a display<\/span> at the\nImakumano Kannonji Temple. I dunno.<\/span>.. perhaps wasn't worth the time...<\/p>\n\n

... but far enough along that the petals had started falling...<\/p>\n\n

I was highly taken with the perfection of these otome tsubaki<\/i> (\u4e59\u5973\u693f).<\/span> I posed<\/span> one head-on shot\nhere<\/a>, but have always intended a few<\/span> more, so here we are.<\/p>\n\n

There are a lot of temples and a few<\/span> small shrines in the area. Wandering around, I came upon<\/span> this quiet scene...<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D700 + Nikkor 24mm f\/1.4 — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>400 sec, f<\/span>\/8, ISO 2200 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\nEntrance to the Zenryuuji Temple and Inari Daimyou Shrine<\/span>\n(\u5584\u9f8d\u5bfa\u3001\u7a32\u8377\u5927\u660e\u795e\u793e)\n<\/div>\n\n

These are apparently sufficiently small to avoid all mention in\nWikipedia, yet according to the notations on various mapping services, the\nshrine part is the oldest Inari shrine in Japan (the most famous of which\nis the dazzling Fushimi\nInari Shrine<\/a> a kilometer<\/span> away.<\/p>\n\n

The gate in the photo above has two big wooden doors that are propped open at the moment. I took a<\/span> shot of one with the intent of using it as a desktop<\/span> background, but I'm not quite sure\nthe result is powerful enough... it feels more like a snapshot<\/span> than anything else.<\/p>\n\n

But it's here, so I may as well put it up to let you decide...<\/p>\n\n

Just inside the gate, the view was much nicer...<\/p>\n\n

It was still early in what turned out to be a long<\/span> and productive day, so many more posts to come.<\/p>\n\n
