Sashmo Au.go.go from Adelaide, Australia

Anything that reminds me of Japan these days seems to generate a slight tear (not an entire tear, mind you) from the ducts of emotional excessess. I can't quite pinpoint this curiosity, but at last I know what it is in this image: it's the shapes and reflections of shapes; the sepia tone; the simplicity and subtlety...

Skyping you right now... You sound dodgy... Me? You? Yep.... YOU!!!

A cliche image no longer cliche... Excellent Stu!!! The sepia was genius. Question: what did you do to get that slight ghosting effect around the pagoda and small tree line?

@Amy: Thanks Amy! Actually that wasn't intended. I think it's a halo caused by my heavy handed sharpening ;-)
