Thank you Mel
Yes the orange torii’s wound their way up the mountain side amongst the maple trees and bamboo. I could have stayed there the whole day!

Really great photo Paul!

I really wanted to visit this place on my trip to Kansai, but unfortunately time was short.

Thank you nikuyakun!
I hunted this place down – I have so many fond memories of Japan

Fantastic Photo Paul. Love the colour, it’s so basic, yet so complex!

Thanks Daniel – The colour attracted me too

Well composed. I like how you’ve used the paving below to dictate the horizon, not the wood above.

Thank you Stephen – I actually had to use a slow shutter speed to capture this and hence have some photos where people came around the corner – leaving a blur in the photo. If people are keen I could upload that version too.

love this fantastic colour and composition

I think I’ve been to where this was taken. Japan is a magical place. Great shot!

I love the tilt; gives your wonderful shot an edge.

Wow, this is incredible. The colors and the DOF, I can see why you had to use a slow shutter speed. Great job!!

I’m a sad case when I travel. most pleople take a good book… I take my tripod! Thank you all for your very positive comments.
Michael – this was taken a short train journey outside of Kyoto

Awesome perspective…

great perspective, vivid colour, good shot.

Thank you Ruby and Karl

Fantastic!

Thank you Bruce

superb image – just seems to be infinite!

I took some video walking thorugh here – fun to play back at different speeds. Nice photo, captures the space and lines very well. Evocative I think is the word I am looking for!

thank you John – it was a wonderful experience – i’m pleased I managed to carry that in the image

what a gorgeous image!

i’ve seen this done so many times on flickr.com but it still amazes me

Thanks Sarah and Ichiroo

Thank you

Love the color, the repetition, and the characters on the pilings… lovely!

Thank you Mark

Hi Paul,

this is an outstanding image. The slightly-off angles and possibly camera tilt are just beautifully wonky. The writing adds texture and “3d-ness” to the posts and the soft orange light on the path adds atmosphere and depth. Totally unforgettable, this is just fantastic. Fave’d.
