UPDATE: I wasn't quite impressed with my first take of Kumamoto Castle at daylight. So I decided to give a night shot a try.
Behold, Kumamoto Castle tower! One of the most popular attractions in Kumamoto city, this is one impressive building if I do say so myself. The whole castle grounds is actually really pretty. Once you climb up the large stairs through the stone walls you come to this huge clearing where people dressed like Samurai walk about and there is this huge, awesome tower.
wow this is pretty cool. I hate to be a critic but the horizon is crooked. Sorry but I live with a professional photographer so it sort of popped out at me. It's a lovely shot though.
I noticed that myself. The only decent photo I could find of the castle in my collection though. Since I'm staying here in Kumamoto, Japan for a full year I'll have a chance to go back there, take a better shot and update this submission.
