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!
@kairospix: Cheers K!
@ManuelaR: Thank you ManuelaR!

What lovely trees and greens, I forgot what that looks like. I come here for a breather from all that snow we're getting :)

@Lorraine: Ha ha! Cheers Lorraine. But so many people would love to see what you can see in December! That's the way of the world I guess...

This is impressive. You have me thinking "House of Flying Daggers" (Shi mian mai fu)

@Twelvebit: Thanks Twelvebit. You know that was all really done with wires?
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Yes. I love the work of Yimou Zhang, though I think I liked the aerial choreography in Curse of the Golden Flower better than House of Flying Daggers. Also, I found it interesting how his main character in Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles (Tanki, senri o hashiru) was a Japanese man interacting with Chinese officials.

The bamboo sure makes beautiful light the way it filters through. Diffused. Nice.
