Brilliant work. Your photos are perfect evidence for the phrase It's not the camera, it's the photographer. Great lighting and composition all around. Another great photographer adopting the 4/3 format . Olympus colors . Timeless capturing man..

Thanks anttz.............Fukuoka is a nice place for holidaying......The people there are nice and friendly........the pace is also not as fast moving as other bigger cities in Japan.

Unfortunately my stay was very short and the weather was drizzling in the morning and overcast for most part of the day.

Fukuoka Castle Ruins.

Sounds like a wonderful location to practise tai-chi. Any more shots of the ruins?

Thanks monolime........the place was very quiet and mystic especially at night as shown below .........I thought it would have been the perfect place for lovers to makeout..........however not a single soul was around once the sun sets and my hairs was standing on its end......Strange!

Thanks Tenelia..........I actually had to look up for this word in the Wikipedia........I think those kids were just leaping from parapet wall to another wall and back again that's all.
Unlike those guys from France where they do all sort of stunts and running around the street structures .......Hmm...... maybe you are right, they are starting basic lesson 101 on Parkour!


Anyway here's a shot taken around the same area before sunsets over the Westminster Hall along the River Thames.

Haha, Singapore has a small Parkour community too. I used to be a Traceur (Parkour Practitioner) and started out doing jumps and rolls. It's really much more fun than just jogging or lifting weights to keep fit. We actually play catching! Haha! Imagine teenagers and adult men running around playing catching!

Oh, and SWEET color over the Thames! Good glass and good in-camera processing makes for beautiful out of camera shots! (:
