Photo of the day – Japan

I’m currently working on a photo series from my recent trip to Japan – I thought I’d give everybody a sneak peak at one of my favourite images. This shot was taken in a little village called Nikko, about 2hrs by train north of Tokyo. Known for its Shinto temples, Nikko is the anti-Tokyo. Where the capital is busy, bright and fast paced, this little mountain village is serine. Walking along the river I came across these statues, quietly watching over the pathway. They are the guardians of wayward travelers and lost children – each one of them representing a lost soul. I counted seventy statues as I walked silently in the approaching rain. Stay tuned for more – have a good weekend…
