These cats were so steady I decided to take some braket shots and do some HDR with them. The result is more silly than anything, but worst posting I guess.
There is so many cats on Enoshima island, almost feel like they are the resident of the place. And what surprise me the most is how much they don’t care about the thousands of visitor that comes everyday on the island. Most of them are always sleeping and are very hard to wake up ( but not dead I assure you ). I find it pretty cute too that those 3 cats from the first photo have mini tatami pad to sleep on.
Shīsā is a traditional Ryukyuan decoration, often in pairs, resembling a cross between a lion and a dog, from Okinawa mythology. People placed pairs of shisa on their rooftops or flanking the gates to their houses. Shisa are wards, believed to protect from some evils. When in pairs, the left shisa traditionally has a closed mouth, the right one an open mouth. The open mouth wards off evil spirits, and the closed mouth to keeps good spirits in. -wikipedia
