I wanted to share this image from Japan today.
It was taken at the Grand Kushida Shrine of Hakata, in Fukuoka.
You've probably seen images of these red gates before in movies or in any travel guide for Japan. They are called Torii in Japanese and just beautiful structures to photograph. They are traditional gateways most commonly found at the entrance of Shinto shrines.
The red torii represent wealth and abundance. It is related to the God Inari which is the God of grains and crops. Good crops in Japan is symbolic to a good income and successful business.
I was told to make a wish and then walk through them. The gates are suppose to fulfill that wish.
Well, I did a couple laps and I still didn't hit the lotto but I did get this cool image of my nephew.

It would take me 1 in a 100 photos to get one like that. Liking the clever angle and the sharpness of the pic too - tack sharp!
