This small shinto shrine is in calm place.
There are many trees in the precincts of the Shinto shrine.
Behind the gate, long path lies to the hall.
When I am in front of the gate.
I feel a kind of dignity not only to the gate but also to the path.

we are the same, I also use a camera phone to take photos of my city.
Do you know the other cdpb members who is using camera phones?
This is so tranquil
It makes me think of a Buddha's quote: There is no way to happyness, happyness IS the way" ..
So beautiful and peaceful.
Love the arch/gate!
HI! Oh how I love so much the way you view life, the awareness with which you are a part of it. In this post of approaching the gate, the honor you speak of, I understand this as well, the reverence for the Self as being one with, perhaps.
I remember shrines in Japan, and tying paper prayers to trees.
Walking the path is like a ceremony, and I think maybe if we but realized, life is a ceremony. The gate must represent reverence for life.
What honor to walk that path.
Thank you Nobu for reminding me .... you always bring a smile here..a connection. Thank you
I miss the serenity of Japanese shrines. I would always climb to the top of the hill to visit that kind, too.
