After an early summer thunderstorm, the sky cleared and gave way to a crisp beautifully lit night. The water puddles were reflecting the gorgeous structure and light of the surrounding temple.

    I love it when people see things from unusual angles and especially reflected images. This is stunning.

    Absolutely stunning! My fav Asakusa photo. I love going there. Such a great atmosphere in that temple!

  • Thank you so much Melanie! Asakusa is also one of my favorite spots in Tokyo, in addition to Ueno Park. It is also great for people watching at both locations.

    Amazing reflection – Asakusa Temple is gorgeous anyway but you give it something extra in this image.
