Springtime at Himeji Castle 16

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 6 November 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!

Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom

For some strange reason, this feels like a scene from a movie . . as if the camera will zoom thru that gateway !
