Springtime at Himeji Castle 9

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 30 October 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture.

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!

That's a great shot Daryl, beautifully framed with the blossoms. I think I might of cropped the people out at the bottom... of course this is just a personal view because the image is excellent.
