kitsune at ueno 上野の狐 (ueno, japan)

Posted by timothy sullivan (Tokyo, Japan) on 28 March 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.

located nearby the hachimangu temple in ueno park is smaller shrine-- one of the more famous inari shrines (that, as i understand it, pay homage to foxes) that dot the tokyo area. a sakura petal had fallen on this fox's brow and i thought it would make such a great shot. unfortunately, i didn't take the difference in contrast into consideration when i snapped the shutter; as a result the petal kinda got washed out. oh well; something to retake when the cherry blossoms come in force!
