Kamakura, 18 September 2014

It’s been a long time since I’ve taken my D700 out to shoot pictures, so I decided to go down to Kamakura and make it a photo shoot day. Since I have been here many times before, I tried to look for new pictures and new angles, which can be pretty hard when you have been to a place a lot of times.

These are some pictures I took around Hase-dera.

Here is a Tobi or Kite that I saw perched up in a tree. There are lots of these in this part of Japan.

Here is the sake barrel wall near Hachimango Shrine. These are pretty common in Japan, but you don’t see modern beer mixed in very often.

Some pictures of the pond in front of Hachimango Shrine with the lily pads and ducks.
