Thank you John and Helen.
To answer your question Helen this was taken in Kyoto at Inari Shrine. This was one of the locations used in the Memoirs of a Geisha movie.
Outstanding shot, Ian. Is this on that island near Hiroshima? My memory of Japan is getting a bit foggy after being away from the mainland for 10 years!
The spectacular environment and lovely lighting, frame and present the children very well. The race is engaging them and each of the children is showing an interesting attitude towards it. This photo makes me glad I picked this theme for the Challenge.
