Asakusa Kannon Temple (Sensō-ji)
Asakusa
Tokyo, Japan
This Buddhist temple needs no introduction, it houses the goddess of mercy (known as Kannon in Japanese). Different from the Shinto Temples more commonly found in Japan. It is a must see tourist attraction in Tokyo. I visited it twice. During the day it was just flooded with tourist taking their snapshots and crowding the scene. I knew I had to return at blue hour where there were lesser tourists and the low light conditions allowed me to use a longer exposure, which blurs out the remaining few people that were left. One still have to be patient and wait for breaks between tourists posing for their own images. Although this location has been photographed millions of times before. The temple gates and pagoda are so beautifully lit, I just had to experience the joy of photographing it first-hand!

Storm leaving Tokyo around sunset time, I also have a long exposure version but I prefer this one, the dying sun is reflected on the Asahi buildings...

From Wiki: Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺 Kinryū-zan Sensō-ji?) is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa...
