Shinagawa Susaki - Terrific panoramic view of a shrine dedicated to the goddess Benten on the edge of Edo Bay. The shrine is known as Susaki because of its location on a "susaki," a narrow spit of land extending out into the water. Two tiny figures pass through the torii gate leading to the red shrine building, while others cross the Torimi Bridge over the Meguro River at lower right. The water is dotted with cargo ships and fishing boats, with a flock of birds overhead flying off into the distance.
