Daily HDR Photo — Lost Shrine
Today’s shot is a lost shrine on a hilltop in Atami.
About
This was my second favorite place in Atami. My favorite was my ryokan room overlooking the ocean, but this was definitely a close number two. The area was so peaceful and very beautiful.
I had to climb about a bazillion steps to get here, which may explain why it was deserted. Luckily, a vending machine was waiting for me at the top of the stairs, fully stocked and humming away, seemingly self-powered (no plug I could see!).
Yeah, vending machines are everywhere. You all know this by now, right? I’d really hate to be the guy who has to walk up all the stairs everyday to stock it…
Do you like the photo? I look forward to reading your opinions in the comments.

I like this one. It looks like a tilt-shifted photo rotated 90 degrees.
The focus creates a 3D, dreamy effect.
Yeah, that’s kind of what I was going for. Temples/shrines often do feel like another world, this one more than most because of all the trees. It was indeed a little like entering a dream.
