Springtime at Himeji Castle 8

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 29 October 2009 in People & Portrait 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!

Nice sunny scene in this park again & great B&W !
Love the echo between the pigeon with head but no body and the man with a body but no head ;)

A very cool family shot. The pigeons are quite at home around the kids.

First thing that came to mind is a Tom Lerher song.

Poisoning pigeons at the park --the Tom Lerher song that is.
