Hiroshima prison is an unlikely tourist attraction. A mural covers the perimeter wall, the colours brightening the drab grey, bars and barbed wire. It’s a bit boring on its own but I thought it would make an interesting backdrop. I waited for some cyclists to meander by, slowing my shutter speed to blur their movement through the shot- people on their everyday errands, splashed against a mural of a giant fish.

Security at that prison needs a review – it appears giant fish prisoners can just leap to freedom.

There also appears to be a bridge to freedom…

Oh, I love the black and white one you threw in at the end. It really took me off guard after seeing a series of the colour ones. Great contrast!

Thanks!!! I was thinking about black and white for all of them but I decided the bright colours added something. Thought I should include a token one at the end. Thank you so much for checking out my blog. I appreciate it lots!

Great set. The colour works better for me on these, really lovely pastel tones and light

These are a wonderful set! You should put them in a really long frame 🙂

Thank you! Maybe I will put them in a long frame 🙂

I love the colors in the mural. And I think your most surreal pic is the black and white – it become hard to sort out how the people are related to to the fish, are they all in one plane? Is it photo shopped? Are the fuzzy people not real and the crisp fish is? Plays tricks with my brain. I like it!

Thanks! It took a while to get just the right shutter speed- to blur the riders just the right amount. Keep on going with the cats! 🙂
