The Bamboo Forest, Arashiyama

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 16 December 2007 in Plant & Nature.

A famous area to walk through in Arashiyama, Kyoto.

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!

It's fantastic, but I'd crop the sun out if only because the foreground is AMAZING!!!!

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine. I thought the sun added a strange extra element. I've got more shots of the bamboo coming up...

Ina from Krugersdorp, South Africa

I agree with Lorraine, I would just leave the reflection (bottom part).
Great photo, love it!

Well, I like it with or without the sun, either way it's an interesting photo...
