Japanese Lantern

The Kasuga Shrine in Nara is said to have more than 3000 bronze and stone lanterns all over the complex. They are all together lit only twice a year, so I (of course) missed the event.

For post processing I removed most of the image's saturation and shifted overall colours to some bluish tones. I also faded out the image's corners and applied some tone mapping on the lantern in the foreground in order to reveal more of its details.

Browse the images on this site by clicking on one or more tags. When clicked, a tag becomes active (or inactive). Active tags will restrict the thumbnails on the bottom of this popup to images that have all of the currently active tags assigned. A tag that is assigned to the image currently visible is shown with a  blue background . Tags will be grayed out if none of the currently selected images have that tag assigned. Tags with a serif font designate an image gallery, i.e. images that are related to each other because they were e.g. taken during the same trip.
