Miyajima Torii at Sunset

Description
The great torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine rises from the waters off Miyajima, Japan, photographed at high tide on Ilford Delta 100 film. The dark silhouette of the gate stands against layers of distant mountains softened by atmospheric haze, while its massive pillars descend into the textured surface of the Seto Inland Sea. The restrained black-and-white palette reduces the scene to a balance of monumental form, water and receding landscape, emphasizing both the distinctive architecture of the torii and its extraordinary relationship with its surroundings.
