松本の「烏城」Slipped!
Slipped! Matsumoto Castle, Nagano
What happened? I was busy getting long exposures with 3 different cameras, none of which had a tripod. This one slipped, and I ended up with this result. Not bad, I like it.
Matsumoto Castle's black exterior never failed to capture me. This is the second time seeing this castle in person, and I have come to see it as a castle with dual personalities.
In a warm lighting during the day, Matsumoto Castle seems "親切" (kind, warm, expressive, 'friendly'). It is flatland castle that once served as a towncenter.
At night, I sense a combination of fear and fascination. The castle seems to speak but not in words; its voice is silent authority and constant vigilance.
I am still exploring my particular feelings for this castle.. Himeji Castle may be situated on a hilltop, constructed on a grander scale with spectacular fortifications. To me, Matsumoto Castle remains unparalled in the department of secrecy and mysteriousness.
