D700 with ZEISS DISTAGON F2.0 35MM Sample Photo 505479 By kanuck

Thanks Derek. Are you still back in Canada now?

I love the light reflected off the pillars great stuff

Thank you, I felt the same way about the conji on the pillars as well. I was also glad this particular section of the shrine had a richer shade of red as well. Other portions appear to be quite faded although the famous Steve McCurry shot in 2007 was actually shot in the pale orange color section. Steve McCurry is an absolute genius and I know he loves the kyoto area.
