I took these photos on an evening stroll through the old samurai quarter of town – adorned and glittering with twinkling lanterns, strewn about like stars.
Without a tripod I propped my camera wherever I could find and set my shutter for some long exposures. Leaving the photos up to chance and producing some happy accidents.

Were they taken at Nijo-jo? I love those lanterns – I struggled to get good pics of them when I was there. Great job 🙂

They were actually taken in my home town Hagi, in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Are the ones at Nijo-jo worth checking out? Do you know exactly what they are for by the way? 🙂

No, I don’t know. I found an image of some small ones similar to the ones I saw there for Cherry Blossom light up – http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_elfling/3494372203/

They are pretty similar to the ones I saw! I thought maybe that they might have been for the same thing but if they were for the cherry blossoms then it was a different time of year. Pretty none the less 🙂
