Kiyomizu-dera Sanjunoto, Kyoto, Japan

Looking through a gap in the trees at Kiyomizu-dera Sanjunoto.

I took this picture while walking through Kiyomizu-dera in late autumn. There is surprisingly little editing, mostly to bring out the sky. The colors in Kyoto that time of year are rich and gorgeous.

Not pictured is the throng of tourists—and what must be some locals—all trying to get the same picture.
