View of Okayama Castle from Korakuen
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 22 August 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
I've posted lots of photos of Japanese castles on this blog, but never one of this castle before. I just realised how odd this is, as I lived in this city (Okayama) for two years and have visited the city often since, as it is my wife's home town. So very belatedly; here's Okayama Castle.
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!

That borrowed view of the castle is a feature of this garden that I like. Better late than never. :-)

Wonderful view!!! A bit dark, though...but still impressive! I've never been in the area!

@Japanalia: The famous black 'crow's castle'... a bit dark??

It is beautiful. The landscaping is gorgeous.

Well, it is distinctive, and perhaps unique, so perhaps the comparison isn't apt, but I virtually never post images from where I live either. In fact, it seems I rarely even take photos in the town where I live.

@Twelvebit: It's kind of understandable isn't it? Human nature... I normally take the camera if I'm 'going somewhere', normally to do some sightseeing.
