One of my favorite things about visiting a shrine is the fact that you can see huge, old trees. The greenery and the red and black paint offer a wonderful contrast.
Even the fencing around the main hall of the shrine has its own little roofing. A lot of painstaking work just to keep part of a fence dry.
Different materials used for the roofing present a range of hues that we normally cannot see unless the shingles are wet from the rain.
