Miyajima (Itsukushima) Shrine in Japan (just outside of Hiroshima). This is a shot of the infamous "floating" torii gate. This is one of the "Three Most Beautiful Scenes of Japan". I was there on two different days and the first day the tide was out and I got to walk right out there beneath the gate. It really is an amazing thing to see. And the entire island is incredible. Very peaceful. Actually, I might do a few in a series...Enjoy.

This is amazing....stark with the gates colour and yet serene with the surroundings.
Look forward to more in the series.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
