Vertical dragon supplying water for visitors at Futaarayama Shrine in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. The shrine was deserted when I visited there.
This is a Outdoor Wednesday, Watery Wednesday, Black and White Wednesday, and ABC Wednesday entry. V is for visit and more.
I love the silvery tone to the light!
