This is a typical example: when I saw this, I thought the photo would really "pop" with the camera I had... Mostly sunny skies, mountains in the background, flowering tree in the foreground and outdoor street mall inbetween... sadly, doesn't come through.
Does Amazon sell these?
View down a Matsumoto Street.
View down another Matsumoto Street of this mountain-encircled city. This one comes through better, though it was still, once again, more impressive in person.
Almost at Matsumoto Castle...
Occupants of the castle moat.
A little easy to spot the castle.
Almost a good reflection.
Postcard worthy?
Castle under inspection by diminutive observer.
Another postcard-worthy photo.
Camera shy...
After waiting a few minutes, this was the best pose offered...
