In this Shanghai trip, we visitied a few local parks. We found that they are all beauiful and have many good spots for photographing. Just this this, I hided the square behind the willow tress and had a gazabo as the matter element of the scene with reflection on the fond. Since it was an overcast day with the proper exposure that gave an unique mood to image.

Church of St. Nicholas
The construction of the church of Sveti Nikola (St. Nicolas) began in 1902 in Kotor, and the construction of the church was terminated in 1909, which we can see from the inscription on the façade. The church was built in pseudo Byzantine style. This is a one-transept edifice. The main façade is enchased with two belfries and special value for the church represents an iconostasis of the church of Sveti Nikola (St. Nicolas), which was made in 1908.
Behind the church and up at the hill is the fortifications built during the Venetian period. It is located on the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), one of the most indented parts of the Adriatic Sea. Some have called it the southern-most fjord in Europe, but it is a ria, a submerged river canyon. Together with the nearly overhanging limestone cliffs of Orjen and Lovćen, Kotor and its surrounding area form an impressive landscape.
The United States Capitol, often called the Capitol Building, is the home of the United States Congress and the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government. It is located on Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Though no longer at the geographic center of the Federal District, the Capitol forms the origin point for the District's street-numbering system and the District's four quadrants.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” Aaron Siskind
The Goryokaku was made in 1864 and it's construction took ten years. This is Japan's first western style castle, and it is shaped like a pentagon star, hence the name ('go' means five). From the top of Goryokaku tower, you can see Goryokaku's pentagon shape. For the 100th year anniversary the first tower was built, in December 1964 (60m high), and 41 years later in 2006 the new tower (107m high) was completed and the structure obtained the present shape.
From the observation deck at the highest floor of the tower, you can clearly see the star-shaped Goryokaku and the Hakodate Mountains, Tsugaru Strait, and other mountains. On the observation deck, there is a display space to learn about the Goryokaku. The observation deck is covered with strongly protected glass, and there is a café and a gift shop.
The new tower focuses on the star shape; not only the observation deck is star shaped but the cross section of the tower has a shape of a star as well.
Today Goryokaku does not have a surrounding wall; instead, there is a park filled with greenery. In spring, 1,600 cherry trees bloom and people visit from all over Japan. In winter, the Goryokaku is lit up, and from the top of the tower, we can see a beautiful star shape on the ground.
