This is Japan? Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is probably the last photo I will send for a week and 5 days because I wont have internet access at my house.

Well, back to the picture, I took this in Kobe, the building is of a late early 19th century French building built in Kobe, Japan. It was taken in Ijikan, or Kitano part of Kobe, where all the European settlers settled.

The surroundings are very touristy, but mostly of Japanese people, I guess it is a very cheap way to see Europe if you cant afford to go from Japan.

It is now turned into a museum.

I hope you like it.

Daniel, I like of this old colour, it building style is total different of here in Europe, but good idea for this photo to make, excellent composition. Well seen, John.

Great shot Daniel - I like the fine lines of that architecture and the nice moody image due to the sepia - thanks for sharing - I properly must take a break from TE - due to work, in the near future :-)

Interesting shot indeed, Dan, it almost looks like one of the colonial buildings I have seen in the eastern U.S. Good rendition of the ornate architectural details, and nice choice of sepia. Looks like it could use a slight rotation to the left. Well done, and see you soon.

Nice composition Daniel, great angle you chose for this nice old building, I don't know if it's because of the angle but I thing it need to be rotate, anyway well done in sepia, regards.

This is a most interesting piece of architecture. I've seen homes in the US with a Japanese influence; so to me, to see a home in Japan with an American influence (Victorian architecture) is most fascinating. The building looks totally American with the exception of the roof. A good capture!
