Elegant, stylish beautiful picture!
This have to be from some temple, is it?
I have visited Tokyo, Nara, Kyoto and of course Fujiyama few years ago and we saw many
wonderful temples.
Have a nice evening!

@Leena: Thank you. This is Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima, near Hiroshima. It's considered one of the three most scenic spots in Japan. There are certainly many wonderful temples and shrines in Kyoto and Nara. Kyoto is one of my favourite places in Japan!

this is beautiful but I prefer the one from yesterday ... it's more aerial !

You have some lovely shots here , just as a sugestion , why don´t you post them to the portfolio so we can have a look at all of them?

Keep up the good work!

@Hikari: Thanks for the reminder, I've added some of them. Otherwise I'd probably never put anything in there waiting for that elusive 'best'!

A similar picture than the previous one, may be to know which one people prefer... For me this one is better but which one do you prefer?

@akarui: I couldn't decide as I like both of them. The openness of the previous one but the stronger colours in this one. It's been fun to see which one others prefer. Thanks for your input.
