[Photo by] YUJI KAWASHIMA [Location] Motonosumi Inari Shrine, Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture [Description] I took this picture of the impressive group of torii gates at Motonosumi Shrine together with the Milky Way. The sky was full of clouds until just before this shot, and just as I was about to move on, the sky suddenly cleared up as if by some mysterious force, and I was able to take this picture. I created a mysterious image as if a mysterious force was working on the group of torii gates late at night. The Milky Way is a magnificent image that could only have been captured in a place with little light pollution.The light clouds reflected in the distant light and the light shining on the torii gate are also well balanced, creating a highly finished photograph.
