Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Oooo, another framed shot... I'm gonna have to try one of these, if only I had such cool places to take photos of.
I get the feeling that space is wasted with the top as it's big and dark. Were you hoping on getting the wood grain rather than a shadow?
Either way, it's a beautiful shot.

@Tkf15h: Hey Tk. Thanks for the visit. No, I wanted solid black - I liked the 2 'windows' of colour and thought it was an interesting arrangement. Also, I wanted the darkness to have a heavy feeling contrasting with the brightness beyond.
@Martine Lapointe: Merci Martine!

You seem to have very beautiful places in Kyoto! Love the contrast between the delicate trees and the entrance of the building.

@Lucca: Thanks Lucca. It's very impressive looking through that gate to the greenery beyond.

breaks all the rules of perspective - but it really really works - great shot!

I'm at a loss for words on this one....which is probably how one is supposed to be when presented with a great image.

@Vahid: Thank you Vahid.
