Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 18 December 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

The obvious bamboo shot!

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!

I've never seen any bamboo like this except in pictures. It is a very intresting plant.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Perhaps obvious, but I love the range of tones here; they look rather ghostly - well done! Probably the same place I took this one.

I love the way the younger shoots look almost negative to the older ones.
