“A torii is a traditional Japanese gate commonly found at the entry to a Shinto shrine… / It has two upright supports and two crossbars on the top and is frequently / painted vermillion. Some torii, such as illustrated here, have tablets with writing mounted between the crossbars…. / The origin of the word Torii is unknown. One theory was it was designed for birds to rest… / In Shinto, birds are considered messengers of the gods. A second theory / is that it is derived from the term tori-iu; pass through entry.” / (taken from Wikipedia) A traditional torii (gateway) is mirrored in the lake of the Japanese Garden , in Brooklyn, New York / ~~~~~~~~~~~~ / Image has been viewed in excess of 100 times.

These stones have Japanese Kanji written on. I found this one in a temple just by a pagoda containing Buddhist sutras. I`m not sure if they are written by the monks or by the locals and tourists who flock to this beautiful temple. !

A fountain used to purify yourself. Initially associated with Shinto shrines they’re now also found outside Buddhist temples and in gardens. This one is in Nikko at the entrance to a beautiful little garden designed to wander around. With each step a new scene unfolds and this makes the garden seem much bigger than it actually is. One of the first photos i took with my new digital camera :o)

All Eyes On Peace It is these days more important than ever I guess. Specially through all the religious wars going on. No religion on this world promotes or indicates war, its the people alone who “think” it is, turning facts to make it sound it’s a clear fact, which is not. No matter if you are a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Buddihst or etc. we all learned through our religion that peaceful coexcistence is the key to treat us with love, success, health and if God is willing, with eternal life (thereafter). I created this once as school work but my wife loved this idea so much that she asked me to make somethign out of it, well my friends, I just did. To support peace, mutual respect, love and honor. You only have one life, and its way too short as to waste it in hate, intolerance and ignorance. :)

I took this photograph at a temple in Nara, Japan, where I happened to visit at the same time that a Shinto wedding was taking place. This was not posed; the woman in the picture happened to turn around at just the right moment, allowing me to get the shot.
