Next to Himeji Castle is Koko-En Japanese Gardens. The entry was included with our ticket to Himeji Castle and we were a bit behind schedule so couldn't go to Mt Shosa as we planned. The Gardens were a bit ordinary being winter but there was a huge Japanese pond with heaps of huge Koi (carp) and a couple of waterfalls. It wasn't busy at all so there was a really nice atmosphere. We spent about an hour and half mainly taking photos and lazing about. It was a nice sunny day and really didn't feel like winter.

bamboo reflection with Koi at the last pond in the gardens.
photoshop gone a bit crazy. I loved the motion of this picture. i think
the shape of the fish and the motion of the tail make a graceful picture.

Mika loves to take photos of me taking photos. That's my lensenikkor 80-200mm f2.8d. It's a bit heavy (1.5kg) so you cansee i'm using a monopod (poor mans VR) between my legs.
