Interiors of old churches (or more general: temples) are fascinating places - for centuries people have gathered here. The b/w treatment suits well to convey the history of this place - what I particularly like is the light: although not very dominant there are spots of light from the windows above and lines of shadows.

Daniel, many thanks for being so honest (that the earlier version was a lucky accident) and posting the initially intended orientation. I find it hard to decide whether any version is better - this one is certainly easier to decode for the eye - while the sideways orientation is more challenging (in a positive sense).

Daniel, indeed an ingenious photo and caption - with the orientation and burred lines through the foreground you're creating an eerie undercurrent that adds a dark side to this innocent beauty. @Jack: sad to hear from your plan - in case you'll share photos on some other platform - please let us know!

In some ways this is different from the quite much of the work you're sharing here - which is great (and I envy a bit - currently, I'm feeling I'm following too much my trodden paths...). It is lively and "street"-like - could be from a documentary about Japan. By including the streetscape to the left you took a risk, which payed off very well, because it is balanced nicely by the flowers (towards which the family is moving).

Great photo! Reminds me of Lee Friedlander - especially the photo where he placed bumpy shaped clouds on top of a road sign warning of bumps... and a great example of the fact that choosing both your location and the direction you're pointing your camera are probably the most powerful tools a photographer has.

My answer: the monkeys are on this side of the fence :-) Indeed, this photo may not be an immediate eye-catcher - although the colours and tonality provide a very harmonic background-tune. Only at second glance I notice, that it's kind of absurd to put these neglected objects (concrete blocks and towel rail) behind a fence... which gets me back to the beginning of my comment: where is inside and where is outside?

I don't know any Japanese, but from colours and layout of the sign I'm guessing that it is some construction company promising a bright (yellow :-)) future for this little spot. The derelict surroundings and ignorant bicycles seem to call it a lie. I like the tension between new sign and aged surroundings - and the fact that you've very carefully arranged the geometry and the frame.

Jack, many thanks for your reply - alhtough I'm guilty of doing it out of laziness: your photos are worth more than a simple click on "admire" or "applause". Unfortunately, the forces of the attention-economy of monopolizing silicon valley companies take their toll on smaller sites like this. And I really miss some of the 'old guys' here like Fred Goldsmith...
