reminds me of this

I love that study, richard mosse isn't it?

yup. such surreal photos. Serious subject made visually stunning without losing it's integrity, though there seems to be discussions about it being too 'arty'

UNEASY STREET: Van Houtryve arrived in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, during a normal work week in February. He found its main thoroughfare entirely empty. "Nobody's out. No couples with babies, nobody taking a walk," van Houtryve says. "You could wait 10 minutes before you ever saw a car." Only a few old Mercedes -- the exclusive privilege of top bureaucrats -- cruise Pyongyang's streets. North Korea has just a few hundred thousand cars for more than 20 million people. The country has only 1,000 miles of paved road.

Taken from Tomas van Houtryve's 'The Land of No Smiles'

Great photo Will

Which park in Bradford? I'm originally from Bradford but can't work out which park that shot is from.

Are you sure they are spiders?

Quite often it's caterpillars that do that extreme crazy shit.

It happened in a park in Bradford a year or so ago:

I have a friend on holiday in Japan, posting photos like this to his Flickr account:

I am immensely jealous.

That must be Mount Fuji in the background.

Here's a shot I took from Roppongi Hills in 2008 from the skydeck, man I miss that country:

I think this is worth some cross-thread action

Christ this brings back memories.. I lived in Tokyo for 8 months about 20 years ago I can almost smell the city again.

A place I will visit some day :)

Just love this picture.Some images you find yourself drawn to and keep looking at but can't explain why.

Thanks Theory Swine, I'm honoured.

Ah, pleasure. Lovely shot.

A place I will visit some day :)

Get on it, it's not that expensive once you're there, and Tokyo is THE place to hook up with other like minded travellers. Eating out is a doddle and very well priced, we got a 12 piece Sashimi set and free green tea for £5 (1000yen) and it was top notch grub. PM me if you want more advice, I spent 5 weeks there and speak Japanese anyway, so I can tell you what you want to know.

Another panoramic shot I took with my friend's camera
