Heian-jingu shrine(平安神宮, へいあんじんぐう) with the night sky

What's this big object?! Is it a type of Gundam? The answer is "No". It's a shrine gateway. The downside there is a taxi in front. It looks a good scale to major it. I took a photo before in day time. But, I couldn't realize the another fascination of that 24 meters gateway at night.. 


It's too big.. An orange taxi is not a Lego block. Please take a look the second photo. The base is bigger than a taxi.


And when you go through the gateway, you will get to Heian-jingu shrine(平安神宮, へいあんじんぐう). The entrance is closed at night. But in light it's still beautiful like furiously burning fire.


This kanji says "Keep out at night". If there is a event such as no play(能), illuminations or concerts, you can go inside at night.


The shrine's red or orange is sometimes very bold at night. I love them! 
Night is getting deeper. Well, I have to go home. But, please give me a few extra minutes!
