New Photo: Kyotos Yasaka Pagoda

This is the famous Yasaka Pagoda (part of the Hōkanji Temple) in Kyoto, Japan – and obviously the street leading up to it. The spot at which I took this photo is rather famous by itself – so as with so many spots, there was a group of around 10 photographers (+tripods) fighting for the best angle. Now, you cant stay behind them as you wouldn’t see anything, but you can also not stand in front of them or you will likely be killed. Logically, I shoved by tripod amongst theirs, took the shot and moved on. As a result, there are 10 people that will have the more or less same picture taken within 20-30 seconds apart. Unique, right?
