Throughout the day I snapped a few photos of the castle and freely wondered the charming grounds. Through my observations I noted there were several strategically placed inactive floodlights and of course, a huge moat. In my mind this only meant one thing – potential for incredible reflections.

Mount Fuji
One of the main reasons I travelled to the enchanted islands of Japan, was to witness the majesty of Mount Fuji with my own 2 eyes… Some of my favourite photographs of the mountain are taken in the winter months – when the peak is aptly embellished with snow. However, as I was visiting in…
