Day 141- Cherry Blossoms

Hagi was once a castle town, unfortunately now only left with its ornate ruins. The grounds are lit up spectacularity once a year by cherry blossoms, gleaming with pink. I cycled down to take a few pictures.

I particularly like the first shot- quintessentially Japanese with cherry blossom and a grad Tori gate, all framing a lone cyclist.

    That first photo in particular is so very beautiful! Thank you for ‘liking’ my post which in turn lead me to your blog. Looking forward to seeing more and following the next 224 days.

    The first one is on my wall already. Metaphorically obviously, but it will be when you give me the originals. I may have to decorate my house with these. Okay?

      I could send you the original file if you like 🙂 It’s one of my favourites that I have taken. I have actually just invested in a new, even posher camera 🙂
