I was very surprised to find this statue having a little holiday here.
I've made it up to 500 images! I've now decided to drop 'Daroru' and go with 'Daryl'. Because that's my name.

@blackivory: Thank you!
I really love this one! Such beautiful tones and stark contrasts. I've spent some time in Osaka though I'm much more familiar with Kobe. How do you get to Osaka Port?

@Damon Schreiber: Thanks Damon. Easiest way to get there is on the subway. It's Osakako station on the Chuo line. Probably the most interesting thing to do down there is visit the aquarium - Osaka Aquarium is great. You never went there?
Your images are great Especially like this one

@Anup Payyakkil: Thanks Anup!
I looked at them all. Fascinating images. Your photos are of particular interest to me as my son is studying Japanese and plans to live in Japan for awhile after he graduates from college.

@Twelvebit: Thank you Twelvebit. Japan is a great place, I'm sure your son will love it. What triggered his interest in Japanese? You should come over to visit once he's settled. Many interesting things to see and do.
I don't know exactly what triggered his interests. Some of the influences are, of course, movies (from Akira Kurosawa to Takeshi Kitano to Takashi Miike and Seijun Suzuki) and books (Haruki Marukami is a favorite author --of mine too). I guess these things are building blocks, as the more he sees and reads the more interested he becomes. And perhaps there are things lost in our own culture that can be found or rediscovered in the Japanese culture.

@Twelvebit: I hope he will enjoy his time here.
