Thanks for these Simon. I particularly like the images shot through windows, a technique I enjoy myself. Very interesting for me in particular they are interesting as I am considering a trip to Japan.
I have long had an interest in Japanese history so my preferred trip, apart from city locations which of course has to be part of the experience and which I have been contemplating for some time is to see some of the interesting historical and cultural places. Especially some of the out of the way places - somewhere for example like the Nakasendo Way which is one of the ancient feudal foot highways through the mountains which ran from Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto. In particular there are still some old villages maintained much as they were in the mid 19th century and earlier. Now that should provoke some interesting photography I hope. There are also a few "samurai residences" spread around the country too - old traditional streets which were once occupied by samurai and which have been maintained in traditional style. And of course, Kyoto.
The only thing giving me pause is the language barrier. May I ask if this was a problem for you - the Japanese are renowned as friendly and helpful but with limited access to the English language.
