Central Nagoya Castle is a variation of a previous shot I posted below but on a different side of the path. Again the sky was pretty white that day but I like how it contrasts with the color on the Castle roof. The photo is left with a sort of vintage feel which […]

Nagoya Green is an attempt to capture the beautiful spring colors that were apearing around the Nagoya Castle grounds. As mentioned earlier, many of the flowers and shrubs I missed and so lots of things were withering, but this view I thought was very colorful and rich with green. This sort of setting […]

Sunshine Nagoya was found on a dirty street corner at the side of a busy intersection. It’s amazing what you find in unlikely areas. With everyone all around I got down on my knees as low as possible and snapped this little guy up as close with my 17-55mm. As I mentioned […]

I thought this was a cool window shot taken of a building in downtown Nagano city. I was really working the narrow back alleys and finding some really interesting stuff. I also like the blue frames on this photo.

If you look at my previous shot, you’ll see that this guy looks a bit older and is smoking a cigarette…on the job too. This gentelman is most likely the supervisor or leader of the group. In Japan if you are the supervisor you’re often seen with cigarette in one hand and finger […]

At the same time as the Sakura, you find a lot of these extremely bright yellow followers all over the place. I don’t know their name, but they are abundant here in Nagano. I thought these flowers looked like they were fighting for a place in line. Fun shot.

Discovered I had some Winter Shots that I completely forgot about. Here there is some sort of building in the middle of nowhere. I can’t remember what it is, but if I do, I’ll update this photograph. I didn’t get out much last winter, but I did a couple of times […]
