Torii Gate - Jungle Gardens - Avery Island, Louisiana. One from my December 2019 archives. I did not realize the significance of the entrance to the area of the shrine until I saw a photo on Facebook posted by David Akoubian. He named it as a Torii Gate; his photo was from Gibbs Gardens.
From Wikipedia:
The dramatic gate (torii) of Itsukushima Shrine is one of Japan's most popular tourist attractions, and the view of the gate in front of the island's Mount Misen is classified as one of the Three Views of Japan (along with the sand bar Amanohashidate, and Matsushima Bay). The gate has existed since 1168, though the current gate dates back to 1875. The gate, built of camphor wood, is about 16 metres high and was built in a four-legged style to provide additional stability.The gate only appears to be floating at high tide; when the tide is low, the gate is surrounded by mud and can be accessed by foot from the island. It is common practice for visitors to place coins in the cracks of the legs of the gate and make a wish. Gathering shellfish near the gate is also popular at low tide. At night, powerful lights on the shore illuminate the gate.

Kobe, Japan, 1998.
This photo was taken at Miyajima, a place I should have visited a long time ago but never did. In a way, I'm happy I waited long enough for my photography skills to be a little sharpened up, as I was able to take advantage of the seemingly cloudy weather (something that might have put me off a few years ago).
Itsukushima Shrine is well known by Japanese as one of the best 3 views in Japan (as defined in 1643) and is a popular destination for tourists for its floating Torii portrayed here (the other 2 views are beaten by many other locations now, in my humble opinion) but also remains a major spiritual centre.
Lately, I've been taking a daily afternoon walk up to the Shinto Temple at Hie Jinja. Akasaka, Tokyo.
