Torii III - Shirahige
One of the most famous torii in Japan is located at Biwa Lake and belongs to the Shirahige Shrine. It´s also one of the most beautiful torii which I saw because it stands in the water. A perfect spot for long exposures and a magical place for everyone who wants to find to himself. Silent! Magical! Unique! That´s the reason for me to take long exposures. I get almost everytime the possibility to experience moments which I wouldn´t feel when I would leave a spot too fast.
