My Travel Photos

Himeji Castle - Himeji Japan.

Taken from inside one of the inner walls.

A few movies have been filmed here. I guess mostly samurai. A western James Bond Film - You Only Live Twice, had some scenes of this castle.

The castle dates back to the era of the Shoguns.

 

Small note, Himeji has some great shinto shrines. Tom Cruise filmed scenes of the last samurai in a shinto shrine on Engyoji Mountain on the edge of the city. Its a walk though and at this time of the year - too hot and humid.

found this in my archives. these is a really nice place.. to bad the photo does not do justice to it.

 

this actually caught me by surprise as i did not expect something like this in a.... zoo.

 

this was taken at 10pm and is just lit by moonlight.. the actual scene is very surreal.

here is a better shot with better colors. btw, this is in singapore's night safari. the treeline is not acutally part of the night zoo but is an island across one of the reservoirs there.
