A beautiful Japanese woman in a traditional temple

The temple is traditional, whereas the clothes most certainly aren’t, and yet together they weren’t necessarily what one would call uncomplimentary.

    Did she pose for you? The shot really doesn’t seem spontaneous.

      No, but she was posing for a group of old fellas who had hired her for a shoot. I just sneaked in and fired off a few shots.

    If you mingled with the old fellas and no one noticed I hope you aren’t in need of some of the same hair dye.
    I would be starting to get worried ;o)

      No, at least not just yet. But the moment I start eying up one of those much loved pocket emblazoned vests is the day I know it’s all over!

          Yeah, the vests favoured by photographers, fishermen and many men over 55 or so.

      It’s Shibamata Taishakuten. A lovely place. Well worth a visit.
