Spinning Shrine ~ Lost in Japan
The shrine beckons, a place of refuge, a place of peace... if only the spinning would stop and you could make it within.
Shrines are wonderful oases from the noise and hustle and bustle of everyday life. The are usually thick with trees and other green growth which both visually hides the outside world and also absorbs a lot of the sound of the city, making them also more peaceful and quiet areas. Sometimes when I want to read a book quietly or just enjoy nature, I will come to the shrine to sit and relax.
Of sometimes sit here and enjoy a beer or two. Enough of those and the shrine starts spinning just like this photo.

Nice photo! I agree with you, shrines are our oases! I like the word "Daikichi" on the corner of your photo!
@koto-art Thanks! That daikichi stamp comes from a shodō class I took several years ago. The instructor always used a daikichi stamp on his own artwork. He told me that it balanced the regular hanko mark and drew the eye back towards the center of the art. I immediately ran out and bought my own daikichi stamp and I've used it ever since (and I made some for digital purposes too)
