Torii

This morning I finished getting the torii gate back in place on the island. This is an enjoyable project which I've done once before here, 8 summers ago.

The gates of torii, meaning

"where the birds reside," are numerous in Japan, most often found at the entranceways to the countless Shinto shrines in that country. Normally they are painted red, but the one here at the LSC is left unpainted.
