kumamoto is really good place to visit. People who go to japan do not know much about kumamoto, but it is truely a hidden gem. Pug-H is very lucky to have lived there.

yes it seems it is new addition.
One of my friend (kathy - she is american, living in oita) suggested me to visit this place. But due to time problems we could not make it.
Weather was very bad and we were unsuccessfully returning back from mount Aso. I was thinking that i missed this place and suddenly my wife spotted it.
In my photo weather look pretty good but actually it was so bad that you could not even see around. And it was raining (little bit).
I will try to upload original if i get time.
Anyway very good experience visiting Aso. If possible will go there again.

Here is a link to original

You could see that things were pretty bad (lightwise).

Fun shot. Try it with a green filter in the sky and see what you think.

Nice capture. Yes, they do look like dinasours. Is that accidental or there are designed sculptures like that. Great PP.

Just coming back to comment after voting...I want to go here, or having a backyard like this...what a place this is! I can hardly wait to see where this is. But for now I'm so happy knowing there is a place on Earth where something such as this exists.

This is great! I wouldn't want to have to walk through them on a dark night, though - it's like a topiary graveyard! There's a lot going on here, but I think the way you've framed it makes sense of all the craziness. Good luck!

Cool! I kinda wish you'd added a tad of gradient fromt he top to contain things a little; my eye keeps wandering up and out, and that's not optimal. Lovely light, lovely processing of the main subject(s).
