Japan - Temple Life, Hakone Doorway

One of the greatest blessings of all that we've been given is the perception of color.  What would life be like without it?  Those of us who are visually attuned to life can hardly imagine.

My favorite color combination overall is orange over black.  Next would be most any combination of saturated colors against a black background, hence my affinity for Photoshop effects such as Glowing Edges or Find Edges - both of which will be featured in the next couple of postings.

But shots such as this are right up there.  Clearly the monks that live at Hakone recognize the value and blessings of a colorful environment.
