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

Andrew says
Great lighting and timing in this shot.
Lee says
Cheers. Yes, I was very fortunate indeed!
An Expat says
Did she pose for you? The shot really doesn’t seem spontaneous.
Lee says
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.
An Expat says
Ah hah! 🙂
Lee says
Yes, a little bit cheeky, but worth it I think!
Hans ter Horst says
Wow, 美人!
Nice composition too!
Lee says
Cheers. Yes, my lucky day!
Jeffrey says
Nice catch.
Lee says
Thanks!
john says
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)
Lee says
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!
AV says
You mean, like those odd things in photo gear shops …
Lee says
Yeah, the vests favoured by photographers, fishermen and many men over 55 or so.
Taki says
What temple was this? Thanks
Lee says
It’s Shibamata Taishakuten. A lovely place. Well worth a visit.
John_0 says
He he, talk about right place at the right time. Gorgeous!!
Lee says
Yes, it’s very nice indeed when things work out like that!
Nick says
Nice one Lee! Great catch 🙂
Lee says
Thanks, Nick. Definitely right place at the right time!
