Floating Torii Gates – Real vs Fake: Wordless Wednesday

September 29, 2010 by NYCSingleMom Filed Under: Single Mom Daily Life, Wordless Wednesday

The famous "floating" torii at Itsukushima Shrine, a Ryōbu-style torii

I love the juxtaposition of the two photos, Orlando, Florida vs. the Torii Gates, Itsukushima Shrine located on the island of Itsukushima Island, near Hiroshima  Prefecture in Japan. The Torii gate in the photos is probably one of  the most famous landmarks in Japan. Torii is a traditonal gate found at the entrance to Shinto shrines.

    Thanks for sharing a photograph of the original Floating Gates, Makes a good case for what happens with climate change. I expect we will see more of that in our life time.

    I love that Epcot ignites a passion for travel and other cultures in the lives of children. That is where I got a hunger to see the world.
