MONKEY BUSINESS

What a wonderful view and… an excellent hunting area! With all those unaware visitors bringing some snacks and drinks!

To reach Batu Caves visitors must climb a steep flight of 272 steps. Being accompanied by those sweet and … very dexterous macaques! It’s amazing to watch how they just get what they want. And you have no choice but to give them what they demand 😉

DIVINE COLOURS

All colours of the light spectrum, all colours of the rainbow 🌈 are applied here to praise the divine. Derived from nature, they are not accidental and each of colours has a specific meaning, connected with deities.

Impressive temples in an impressive location. The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India.

KUMANO KODO

WAKAYAMA

… following in the footsteps of ancient pilgrims on the trails to the Three Grand Shrines of Kumano. Visiting “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range” the UNESCO World Heritage Site was a truly spiritual experience.

I hope my shots can reflect the spirit.
