  1. Heading back to #Tokyo from #Himeji, we stopped along the way to see #Fujisan. This from the balcony of an empty Korean restaurant. There's a concept in contemporary photography - the #PostmodernSublime, which holds that the industrialised world is so overwhelming in scale, as to provoke the same terror the natural world inspired in the German Romanticists. I feel like I came close to that with this #Industrial #Landscape.

  2. The vision of a bright pool of yellow at the end of this dark, sombre, muted-colour #Japanese laneway caught my eye for this #Photo.

    Hard to believe, but I've been posting these for 80 days in a row, if the numbering on the files is correct. That feels like a bit of an achievement.

  3. Multiple colour temperatures of light, check. Industrial #Urban grit, check. Rust, check. Everything I need for a #Photo of #Japanese urban #Landscape. Loving the little wild urban garden growing at the base of the building, especially the intensity of green against the rust. Looking closely, the wall of the building behind the yellow crash barrier has multiple dents, presumably from before the barrier was installed.

  4. Sinister minivan, in a miniature carpark. Another #Photo grabbing the paint-with-colour nature of artificial lighting conditions in #Japanese #Urban #Landscapes. The tiny paid parking area is an entirely unknown phenomenon where I live.

  5. You never know if the degree of construction you see in a town you visit is gradual renewal, or a wholesale remaking of the place. Are you witness to the serene continuity, or the end of history? This #Photo looks like I had the focus really dialled in on the could-be-anywhere apartment building, rather than the #Japanese two-story in the centre. I think it's because of how lit the apartment is - the way it pops from the dark sky.

  6. Another “worth the trip to get it" #Photo, featuring the ubiquitous #Japanese lantern. Himeji has enough grit to be interesting to an #UrbanLandscape photographer, but feels so safe & deserted at night, that these sorts of shots, with long exposures, are readily available. I love the way the lantern floods the far wall with red, then the shadow of the bikes in yellow light on the wall, and finally the blue-white in the distance.

  7. One #Photo I put in my “worth the trip to get it” collection from my #Japanese travels. Wandering around the grounds and surrounding parkland of
    Himeji castle at night. It really is a nice city, in the nicest possible way.

  8. Can you take a #Photo of what isn't there? What did the building here look like? Some tiny shop? Was there a residence above? Was it a house? With #Japanese zoning, or lack thereof, you never know.

  9. Same day, new city - Himeji, where we travelled to see one of the most amazing castles in the word - and its not the beautiful, white, 400 year old traditional #Japanese UNESCO world heritage site. This #Photo reveals a clever #Architecture moment - angling the glass facade to reflect the sky. It looks like a Great Wave - and I imagine would make an interesting subject for a modern Hokusai.
