Miyajima Torii Gate

Don't worry, I'm just starting on my many photos from Japan and South Korea; you'll be bored of them before I'm done. I'll continue withe Myiajima's most famous site, the Itsukushima Shrine's torii gate. Can you see it in the lower left of this photo from the ferry?
Here's the more famous view of it.
Any way you view it, it's an amazing thing to see.

    I find Asian gates very poetic and beautiful. What an amazing opportunity you had to see them in person!

    That iconic tower gate or whachamacallit view is spectacular.

    It will take a long time before I get tired of seeing your travel photos. I have enjoyed all your photos up to this point, and suspect I will continue to do so into the future.

    That gate is very photogenic.
    I'd love to see Japan and S. Korea here. :)

    Wonderful -- the man contemplating the view (meditating?) only adds to the beauty and 'feel' of the Tori Gate and the view. I could never get tired of this virtual trip. Thank you for sharing.
