I hope you all like this one because I got bitten by so many mosquitos taking this shot. I still have itchy arms 5 days later!

WOW very strange. I just uploaded a tori gate photo just after you. But mine was taken at Fushimi-inari in Kyoto. Nice job with this. I know how the light can really suck inside the tori tunnels. #275023Gena A. Tussey July 07, 2005
