Daily HDR Photo — Orange Skys Over Okazaki

Today’s shot is a beautiful sunset over Okazaki. The sky really did look like that! It was the most amazing orange.

This is taken from a large hill in between Higashi-Okazaki and Otogawa stations. I geotagged this photo, so be sure to check if interested.

There is a great temple on the hill I took this from. I believe it’s called Kisshouin (吉祥院), but I could be reading it wrong… Any help? I’ve taken a number of other shots from this temple, including this and this.

Anyway, when I went for this shot, I noticed they had surrounded the hill top with a high fence since the previous time I was there, completely ruining the view. Safety first, eh? So I had to figure out a way around the fence to get this photo (so much for safety!) I thought for sure I would miss the sunset, but I managed to get this shot of it. Even with HDR processing, I swear it was so much more colorful than this! I guess even HDR can’t match what the eye can see.

By the way, can you see Okazaki Castle in the background? Look closely.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
