Yakumo's World
A Place to Sit
Posted by GJC (Kyoto (京都), Japan) on 11 May 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
This tiny temple in Iwakura is not open to the public, so I took this photo by climbing on some rocks and peeking over the fence. Fortunately no one saw me. But I felt like a temple paparazzi.

Someone should be taking photos of you taking photos! Great image! Peaceful, calming, interesting shadows, touch of red is just right.

Very simple and clean composition. I love the way you placed the objects in the picture, it's.... clean, again this word, but that's what comes to my mind. This is very well done GJC.
cheers

Temple Paparazzi- I like that term, I think you just coined a new term for any photographer who climbs over restricted historical structures for a shot!

Incredible find, the natural lines of this composition are superb, and the red tinge of the pot and stool just amazing

It seems photography is an adventure sport for you! And what an action shot this is. I can't say it better than Richard.

in one way you could say that it's too bad it's not open to public but on the other side if it was it wouldn't as quiet as it looks to be
