Shinkansen in Flight
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 24 May 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.
This is what you can see from the park in the previous two days' shots. This shinkansen (bullet train) is a 'Nozomi Super Express' if I remember rightly, on its way down to Hakata.
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!

Absolutely awesome shot D! Love what you've done with the colour, the composition and the way it fills the frame. Excellent work.
Sorry I've not been around much. Just back from a 9 day trip back to Scotland and trying to catch up.

Got to ride the Shinkansen between Takasaki and Nagano over the GW holidays. Must have been the first time in close to twenty years. I had forgotten just how blasted fast they seem from the inside. You did well to get that picture. Do they not have everything blocked off with chain link fence where you are?

@Mike Cash: Thanks Mike. Took this through the fence, from the location in the previous 2 days' shots. Had to do a bit of cropping to tidy it up, lens wouldn't quite fit through the links! Are you excited about the new shinkansen about to make its debut...?
@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks Alfredo!
@Daniel: Cheers Daniel.
@ghiry: Thanks ghiry!
