Taiko gate revisited

     

The title of this post includes the word revisited because it wasn’t so long ago that I talked about Matsumoto Castle‘s Taiko Gate and its unique features. And yet, here we are again. This time though, we can get a glimpse of the outer-most of the twin gates, the Ni-no Mon (二の門) .

I took this photo from my trip back in August 2010, but I’m sure there’s something about this photo that looks out of the ordinary. Yes, its pixels have been given the once over by Mr LaSpina of Japan Dave. Thanks Dave!

Edit: Just added the Show Me Japan badge over there on the right. Go ahead, click on it.

    Hahaha! Yes it does have that special “David’s touch”. That was my first thought. Gorgeous still.
    Have a fab weekend!

    Hi Lisa & thanks.

    I usually take one or two of these angled photos out of every 100. They generally come out looking pretty good. I should take more. One thing that shouldn’t be overlooked is the work done by Dave, which improved things dramatically.

    I will take credit for the angle though. :)

    Maybe David should charge a fee….

    Thank you DekoBoko & welcome.I think it was just a lucky shot. They happen from time to time. The colouring (not my work) really impresses me.
