Spare a Dime Japan

A popular tourist attraction at Zenkoji Temple is this little fellow. I go there a lot, but finally grabbed a shot of this little statue. It’s quite colorful and always looking for a handout ..LOL

Tug O War depicts a temple grounds worker setting up for an event in Zenkoji, Nagano City, Japan.

In Due Order

In Due Order shows the endless lineup of lanterns strung along the grounds of Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City Japan. With all of these lanterns, I found it fun to work with perspective rather than to shoot head on. I often do this when encountering multiple subjects. On this particular day it was rather windy and I also was able to take some shots of the lanterns moving out of line. That made for some cools shots too.

The Sponsor Japan

This was a sponsor banner located high up underneath the roof of a prominent temple in Zenkoji, Nagano City Japan. I particularly like the glow of the wood against the nice white scroll.

Split Ends Japan

This looks like a sword on the left is spliting the stem in two. I’m a big fan of green and I thought this had some nice shades of green. The lines and "peach fuzz" on the stem are added textures that I liked.

Lanterns in the wind

Lanterns in the wind found in downtown Nagano City, Japan near the place where I go to the Dentist. I had 15 minutes to kill and saw these.

Fire Resistent Japan

It was a beautiful day today in Nagano City. I thought the Creative Vado captured the red Fire Cistern against the blue sky rather well. Video by Jim Atwood Photography at http://www.jimatwood.net

City Blue Graffiti

Always love a great saturated color when I see one on the Streets of Japan. This is no exception and had fun taking a few shots.
