ENTRY DESCRIPTION
With 5 minutes exposure for this photo. Mitsukejima is located Hokuriku area, Noto in Japan. You can see a small Torii gate and small rock nearby the island- rock. Japanese always feel awe, piety and worship facing with specific landscape as like this. The time was almost early evening, closing into the night very fast. I intended to get capture the contrast of that last brightness of the sky.
