Torii Galore

1300 orange torii gates greet you at the Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine. The gates are placed one after the other creating a tunnel effect that wind around the area. Many gates are falling apart and feral cats weave their way through them. This place kept me in awed silence as I meandered through it. Sincerely zen and exquisite.
