I took a walk up to Meiji Jingu on the weekend. As always, there were lots of other people around and cameras snapping everywhere, but the walk through the grounds is so quiet and peaceful you hardly notice.

I didn't take many shots, but here are a few that captured the day.

    I've walked through Meiji Jingu once. Lots of people were there but it still managed to feel peaceful.

    Meiji jingu is one of the most impressive places I´ve ever been. Although it was 11 years ago, I can still feel its peace.
