It's a normal stone gateway of a shrine, but Kitano-tenman-gu shrine become something special for the day of a flea market. On 25th of every month it's lit up at night to welcome people on the end of one of the biggest flea markest of Kyoto, called Tenjin-san(天神さん, てんじんさん).
This photo is nice because of the colors like white and gray on the stone gateway, black shadows of trees behind, and the sky about to get the night gradually. Wow! It's something special from the view of Japanese.
It's also beautiful for the colors, which is gold reflecting the lights from many angle.
The stone-paved street is wrapped in the silence. But, the building on the end of the street has some people. Some were praying, some were sitting and relaxing.
I love them! It looks definitely golden, and I forget those colors in the day time.
A lot of things have different colors at that night. If I have a chance to go there again, hopefully in the day time, I will check the real colors of them. And after the next I will go at night!
Yes, there are so many ways to enjoy it! I love it!
