What a beautiful capture!!!
Japanese castles are thing of beauty, but this night shot of Odawara-jo is absolutely one of the best, the moon is certainly a great bonus.
Also, I defintely like the image of the moat and cherry blossoms of the castle you posted the other day.
You have really captured the beauty of Odawara-jo in the evening hours, Chris!!!!! #2671429

Chris Macer April 27, 2006

Thanks Nobi! Really glad that you like this one. I hope to visit a couple more castles before I leave Japan. I'm thinking that Matsumoto-jo in Nagano will probably be next. #2697211
