Torii at Miyajima Island, Japan

A torii is a gate at the entrance to a Shinto shrine. This one on Miyajima Island is particularly beautiful as it stands in the water at high tide.

How beautiful! I like the overhanging tree framing the shot. It was only when I noticed the boat that I realised the size of the Torii.

@jyokota it's good to see the explanation of this gate Judith & linked to Junko's photo makes a good story.
