A row of stone lanterns along the path to the Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara, Japan. The shrine is in the ancient Kasugayama Primeval Forest where hunting and logging has been forbidden since 841 A.D. Nara is famous for its deer which are unafraid of humans and wander freely. It was very spooky at dusk. As the sun set the deer began to make a peculiar, high-pitched bellow, accompanied by monkeys screeching in the trees and birds roosting. I have never heard anything like it.
