Entering Kibitsu Shrine, Okayama

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 31 August 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Kibitsu shrine is a famous shrine in Okayama, west Japan.

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!
