- Info View of Ninomaru palace at Nijō Castle, a flatland castle in Kyoto at dusk. While most Japanese castles still have their representative, characteristic, and widely visible keep, the actual residences are almost always lost. Nijo Castle is a rare exeception, here the keep is gone but the residence still exists. What I like about this picture is its calm, detached mood. Usually the fortification is very popular with tourists and locals alike. Shortly before closing, however, the now forlorn palace gets to enjoy the day's last minutes of sunlight in peace. This scenery reminded me at bit of classical woodblock motifs, e.g. this one. All by me --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:50, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

- Support My immediate thought was that I found the obstructing foreground trees distracting. On second thought the partial hiding of the palace builds up expectations of what will be seen as you traverse the curved path to the place. Excellent light and colours. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:52, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
