Osaka-Jo Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is Osaka-Jo which translates to Osaka Castle.

This is a reconstruction built in 1931 of the oiginal completed in 1583. It was destroyed a mere 32 years during one of the many battles that defined Japan throughout its history.

Despite a great deal of artifacts and historical info, the best attraction is the view over Osaka from the top.

What a sharpa nd clean image. The white and blue are stunning here and stand out so clearly. The overall image contrast also is pleasing here. And I like the tight view upward and the angle you have to add a bit of dynamism to the shot. It captures a nice stepped pattern to the upper right corner, from roof to roof and crown to crown. And all with a flowing pattern, too, of ups and downs. And it's all nicely detailed throughout. Nicely seen, Donald and captured as well.
