Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of the kami Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto - and its one hell of a walk! There are hundreds of these red Tori gates alongside a small mountain and they make for awesome photos. The difficult part was to not have 1000 people in each photo - having said that, when you start the walk at the bottom of the path, having empty tunnels is virtually impossible. Most people give up after 20 min walk though as the walk gets tougher, so then its much easier. In fact, having the occasional person walking through makes for an even better scene, so I take it! Oh dont you worry, there are about 13424231 more photos to come from this place. Phillip
I have been to Spain many many times - but every time I go, the cities surprise me with places that I have never seen or even thought of before. If you watch Game of Thrones, then this place might be familiar to you. This unbelievable place is located in the very city centre of Seville, Spain, and apparently it was relatively unknown to tourists before GoT made it famous. Friends told me they would just stroll in over the day to hang out and enjoy the structure and the surrounding park. Now you queue for hours at times and it is crowded beyond belief. Well, this doesn't take away from the fact that this area is absolutely stunning - and if you can stand many fellow tourists, it is very much worth your time! -Phillip
I spent one evening at the famous Shinjuku Crossing, one of the busiest crossings in the world. Of course, it started to rain like there is no tomorrow - but other than most people, I have no problem with rain in cities at night at all. The reflections and vibrant colours really are something else! But back to the point, the rain was so mad! You can see it in the photo itself - in case you are wondering, I am cowering under a huge umbrella trying not to get drops on my lens. The scenario ended with me falling backwards and getting everything wet - worth it! -Phill
