A great photo! For me, the best shrines to visit are not the famous ones like Ise or Izumo Taisha, but the ones you see like in the picture above – hidden on small hills that border onto fields.

It's interesting that these gates are red. Is it an Inari shrine or is this also common among other types of Shinto shrines in Iwate? I love the recurring patterns!

The Shinto Doors hidden in the shadow side give its true sense to Japanese aesthetic. A little bit of unsaid, unfinished, room for an extra creativity. It feels scary to adventure in the dark. On the other hand, we would like them (hidden doors) to appear more clearly. Your composition is very nice. Good work! Denis Nice picture and especially a superb dramatic image.
