<HTML><TITLE>Visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha- 10/01/05</title>
<BODY><CENTER>
Here are photographs from my visit to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fushimi_Inari">伏見稲荷大社</a> (<I>Fushimi Inari Taisha</i>). It's a famous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinja_%28Shinto%29">shrine</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto">Kyôto</a>, Japan. These pictures were taken on October 1st, 2005. I went with Megan and our understanding of our surroundings was limited. Still, it made for some great photos.<P>

The <I>Fushimi Inari</i> shrine is actually not just one shrine but many different shrines in one particular area. Fully exploring the mountain and its hundreds of <a href=""><I>torii</i></a> would take hours so we only got a glimpse of the total number of sights to see. I accidentally left my camera on "medium" quality so my memory card actually filled up rather quickly. Thankfully, Megan had her camera and also took lots of pictures. You can see them <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/indigodaisy/309028.html">here</a> for a more complete view of our experience.<P>

Crap, I somehow made a weird face in this shot! Ah well, I guess I'll probably go back again someday. It was really nice and I could easily spend a whole afternoon there exploring the entire mountain.<P>
