The Way Out

Daily HDR Photo — The Way Out

Today’s photo is looking back towards the entrance of a Shinto shrine from within it.

The Way Out

About

The title for this shot comes from The Wheel of Time. Looking at the photo, for some reason I’m reminded of a line from the second book: The Way out will come but once. Be steadfast.

If Shinto is to be believed, the shrine grounds where I took this photo may well be in a place of “overlap” with another reality, where our world and the kami (kah-me / gods or spirits) world meets. I say when entering another world, it’s a good idea to remember where the exits are.

Another older image below taken from the opposite viewpoint, this time looking into the shrine.
