Springtime at Himeji Castle 7

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 28 October 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

A completely unseasonal series of photos, taken at Himeji Castle, Hyogo prefecture, back in April.

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 seems to be a beautiful spot that call a lot of people to come and enjoy the weather.

Don't much of this around here. People seek more distance in parks.
