Leanne Cole is our fantastic host this week, and she invites us to show what the normal tourist wants to see – but in another way. ”You might go to the same place, but you are after something different.”
So her challenge is to look for those photos that are of tourist attractions, but where we have tried to get the untypical image of it. They can be near or far away in other countries.
I have just returned from a trip to England, so I am a bit late, but here we go…with Japan! Japan was a delightful country to visit this spring, and the first gallery shows some famous attractions – my way:
The superfast Shinkansen train, Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto (Inari is the god of rice and sake and the messenger is a fox), Kawachi Fujien (The world famous wisteria garden in Kitakyushu), the Shibuya crossing in rain (- the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world with about 2300 crossings every 3,3 minute) and lastly, Tokyo Sky Tree.
From Sweden then, not that many:
Stockholm in double exposure (City Hall and Central Station). The Doll Museum was closed, but my shot was taken through the window.
Thank you to Tina for her beautiful and thought provoking challenge on Habitats two weeks ago, and I hope you all had a lovely week off too! Thank you again to Leanne Cole for leading us this week – please visit her site for always amazing photography.
I hope you want to join in next week when our next guest host, Elizabeth of Albatz Travel Adventures, challenges us to share Pairs.

Simply beautiful, Ann-Christine! You certainly picked different angles for places I know so well in Japan, it just makes me want to go back for another look 😀

Wonderful collection of tourist attractions. Love the double exposures!
Thank you! This was an interesting challenge and fun to see how bloggers handled it!
Ann-Christine, it is always hard to have a favorite from your beautiful galleries. Whether in Japan or Sweden, these images are memorable. I especially liked the double exposures.
Thank you, Egidio. Double exposures are great to experiment with. I did some during the pandemic.
Great images for this week’s interesting challenge
Thank you! Interesting to see how this was handled by the bloggers.
Great photos. those bullet trains are fast!
Thank you, John – they are!
One of the few places I’ve not been that I REALLY want to visit Ann-Christine. A beautiful set of images as always. Especially love the umbrellas.
Thank you, Tina, and yes – I recommend going to Japan! I believe no one has been disappointed. Wonderful culture and everything is so neatly kept.
These are wonderful, I love the wisteria one and the double exposures. really different.
Thank you, Leanne! And thank you for an interesting challenge. It sets the way to think in order to get interesting photos. I made some double exposures during covid – kept me bot thinking about our troubled world.
Lovely shots as ever. I really like that dog-at-sunset silhouette!
Thank you, Margaret! They were everywhere in the temple area – the foxes. Often with a red scarf on.

Ah, you got to Tokyo around the Golden Week: lovely photo of the sky tree with carps. Kitakyushu looks beautiful in your photo. Interesting double exposures too
thank you so much – had to go that week because of the wisteria bloom.
Love your umbrellas, your speeding train, the gorgeous wisteria and the doll (which may now appear in my dreams…) Interesting collection, A-C!
