Beautiful. I am jealous. The temples look great too. I'd love to see them up close and personal.
That field where the battle was is interesting too. One can almost feel the raging of battle going on still...all from the photograph.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us Lush.
I really love those pics, Lush. Look at the images of the gods on the first level, near the dragons. Such amazing architecture, too. I like how you captured the sun and shadow on the mountain. Like 2c said, you can just feel the history on the landscape.
Looks superb. I'd love to visit there some day.
thanks for the link to the free utility Lush. I take quite a few pictures here and there and it will come in handy to be able to mass reduce or resize.
Looking forward to seeing some more pics of Japan too. *hint hint*
Women using a resizer. Suddenly, I feel inadequate.
I love these pics Lushx ----in the past the Japanese people were capable of creating breathtaking beauty whilst practising unbelievable cruelty.
Spent several years in Japan, love the people and the country.
Only a 1GB card? Sheesh. We don't travel with less than an 8 nowadays and I keep thinking we should consider going to a 16. It isn't pics that are the problem, though. It's the fact that the camera doubles as our camcorder. Hi-def video eats bytes like I eat wasabi peas.
On topic - Lovely pictures, Nicola. Never been to Japan but I'm sure the day will come. My wife's Chinese and we visit her homeland fairly often so we are frequently "in the neighbourhood". Last year she managed a side trip to Korea while visiting family and colleagues in Shanghai and I'm sure we could manage something similar for Japan.
I really want to visit someday... I've been to China and loved it, but I've always been far more interested in Japanese history and culture.
....I think there's around 500. I'll shrink them all to a reasonable size and post more of the better ones.
