Encroach

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 24 September 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

This lush and slightly threatening-looking greenery hides an abandoned, overgrown train line in Nada ward, Kobe city, Hyogo prefecture.

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!

wow -- i was definitely going to say that there is a 'threatening' feel to that greenery -- would be great for a suspense, horror novel! ;)
