Iyeyasu Temple, at Nikko

from New York Public Library

• Rob Ketcherside said:

  Iyeyasu is now written Ieyasu. This is in Nikko, Tochigi, Japan, within Tosho-gu, the temple built to house Tokugawa Ieyasu's remains. Tokugawa Ieyasu was the founder and first shogun of the Tokugawa/Edo era in Japan, from 1600. This pagoda was built in 1648 according to the official Tosho-gu site. It is located here The composition of this photograph is deceptively simple. Reviewing Flickr, most people take a head-on shot of the pagoda. Those who take a shot from the corner tend to choose the opposite corner. Few people include the railing and almost none include the approach to the pagoda. All photographers over-expose in order to see the details under the roofs, whiting out the sky. NOW
