13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Yasukuni
Shintoism supports a reverence for nature. The faith believes in the gods to reside in nature: in the trees, in the stones, in the sun. I thought it appropriate that I could capture the sun setting through the Shinto archway (gates) at the left side of the shot, and framed by the barren trees.
