Springtime at Himeji Castle 12

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 2 November 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

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

Honestly, it's hard to stop once you've started...

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!

Four photographers in the same shot, the subject must have been quite interesting! Great capture.

a beautiful squarish composition -- i like the corelation of the cherry blossoms and their shadows: beautiful light and beautiful texture!

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

It's great to see SLRs in use here rather than the cell phones. I like it.

Marc from France

difficult for the guy to find a way without travelling in the field!!
but sometimes, it's the contrary, whe have to wait for people who are in our field and don't want to move!!
great shot!
