Hi, Howard, Museki Abe Nicely thought out image. I love photgraphs where the artist has looked at the scene from a totally different way, and this, by breaking “rules” works so well. I found your web-site, the Photo-Haiku gallery and this is truly inspirational! I would welcome borrowing your idea as a stimulus for my students who are also studying English. They made me rush out and photograph apple blossom in my garden. Now for the haiku... For the next two weeks, my students (about 55 all told) are completing their photography courses to AS (1 year 16-17 year olds) and A2 (2 years 16-18 year olds.) Let's wish them good luck! Howard Thank you very much for comments, moreover, for visiting Photo-Haiku Gallery. Iwould explain my photo, ' Cherry blossom at night'. We, Japanese like to view Cherry blossom so much. When they are in full bloom every year here and there in Japan, a large number of people come to view cherry blossoms and enjoy viewing, drinking SAKE,, singing songs and chatting under the trees. Most of cherry trees in famous parks with cherry blossom were lit up for a week or so. Photo-haiku is for those who like collaboration with photo and haiku. please feel free to make use of its idea.
