Frost & Snow (霜と雪)


After a big snowfall in Hiroshima a couple of years ago, I went out to get some pics of the white scenery. I found this at a nearby shrine. This is where you wash your hands and mouth to purify yourself before entering into the shrine grounds.

二年前位、広島には雪がいっぱい降った。次の朝雪の風景を撮りに行ったら近くの神社でこれを見つけた。

Miyajima - World Heritage

I have just added some new pics to my site from Miyajima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. You have probably all seen pictures of the famous red torii gate which sits out over the water (above). It is one of the most photographed scenes in Japan. I live in Hiroshima and am lucky enough to have been able to get out there a number of times. It is a truly beautiful place to spend the day wandering around. If you want to see some of my pics like the one below, then go to my site at http://giphsub.smugmug.com/ and have a look. Or click on the link on the right to Giphsub Photography.
