Big in Japan - Alphaville Part II

 In all honesty the passage of time has dulled the memory, so we know not quite where all of this took place, but hope it adds an interesting 'pictorial' to your Sunday. The guess would be across the conurbations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

TEMPLE

but never got to finding out what these rotating drums were all about, but popular with people rotating them constantly?

BLACK-FACED BUNTING
but did 'twitch' one in Manchester in 1994 which was a long way from home for us both!

Some interesting and very well crafted Artworks.

We could get all Templed Out at this rate so to the adjoining

CEMETARY
with a couple of attendant birds

DUSKY THRUSH
2016 - was that Whipsnade Zoo?

BROWN-EARED BULBUL
not on the G.B. List and not likely to be.

Not more steps

to another temple

but would you be likely to ever see such things again?
In my case NO!

WHISTLING SWAN
seemed a little out of place, but they all count as did the

TERRAPINS

along with

RUSTIC BUNTING
an occassional visitor to our shores and seen for the first time on home turf in 1987. and

YELLOW-THROATED BUNTING
which, as far as we know, still hasn't reached our shores?
and maybe best to end with another

TEMPLE
(they do say you can get 'templed out')
Neon on my naked skin passing silhouettes

of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo or shall I go and change my point of view
for other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me now it's history I see……..
