Hands in the fire | Kawasaki Daishi, Japan

The big pot of burning incense is a common site in front of large temples in Japan. People light large bundles of incense sticks and leave them burning in the pot. I decided to go for a new angle on this scene (new for me at least) and hold my camera with wide angle lens as directly above the pot as I could. Given that I'm very tall, this wasn't so hard to do and the resulting picture turned out fairly well in my opinion.
