Nijo Castle's legendary Ninomaru Garden and it's koi pond, which is lined with decorative boulders gathered throughout all corners of Japan, were designed in 1626 on the castle grounds for Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa (Edo) shogunate (1603–1867). If you have read James Clavell's novel "Shogun" or watched the Shogun TV series, you're already familiar with Tokugawa Ieyasu because Clavell based the warlord 'Lord Toranaga' on him.)
Lord Tokugawa unified Japan in 1600, following twenty six years of civil war at the end of the 16th century. In 1601 he directed Japan's daimyos (feudal lords) to construct Nijo Castle as his Kyoto residence in a location very close to the Imperial Palace.
The castle grounds, completed in 1603 (amazingly after only two years!), are spectacular, covering 68 acres (27.5 hectares) which include 86,000 sq ft (8,000 sq m) of buildings including two palaces, ponds, rock gardens, and inner- and outer moats. It is now a World Heritage Site.
Upon completion, Tokugawa moved in and hosted a ceremony wherein Japan's Emperor announced to the gathered feudal lords his appointment of Tokugawa as Shogun. Tokugawa's main residence and his new seat of government was in Edo (now called Toyko), so this huge Nijo Castle was akin to his 'country home' used primarily whenever he visited the emperor in the Imperial Capital.
In 1614 the shogun led his samurai army from Nijo Castle on his victorious Siege of Osaka Castle which ended the line of the Toyotomi family, his last political opposition, and established himself as the absolute polical ruler of Japan. His shogunate lasted two hundred sixty four years. In 1857 the 15th Shogun of his line, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, ended shogunate rule and returned political control to the Emperor as Japan opened to the world.
By the gym I go to there is this statue I've seen in passing there is this war memorial. So one day with perfect shooting conditions I decided to take a few shots. I also recently just upgraded my phone to an I-Phone 14 so I was eager to test out the camera and was not disappointed at the results. Even though most of us have and love our expensive SLR's or mirrorless cameras for a lot of us now use our cellphones as part of our regularly used gear.
Shot this today in preparation for tomorrow's game between Oregon and Oregon State - The Civil War - Go Ducks!
Hey everyone! I´m sorry for the lack of content as of lately. I haven´t had to much time to build anything recently. I have a lot of ideas for things to build though, but sadly I just can´t come to realize them. 😔 That being said, I am working on a MOC for a collab! So stay tuned for that. It´s set to release next month! There also is a Fallen Order WIP laying around here, where I´ve been working on the past like year or so from time to time. Nothing to big. I plan on finishing that as well, though again, because of the lack of time to build I haven´t made to much progress on that in a while. In the meantime, here is a Figbarf I made yesterday. I´ve been getting a lot of inspiration from Andor in recent weeks, but I figure you already guessed that by the look of these figs. 😄
Are you guys enjoying Andor? I love the show! Slow, but I don´t really mind that at all.
For the people going to Kloss22 in Norway at the end of the month or to Bricking Bavaria mid next month, I´m displaying there with the RebelLUG/Brickzlab people!
See you!

I was privileged to attend a re-enactment of the battle, Basing House. The knowledge by the participants of the tactics and way of life was excellent. A great day out.

NB: Star-Lord's face is used for Bucky. I felt the expression and facial hair fitted well.

Going through more archives....mostly looking through photos from 2015. This was taken in September 2015 at the Civil War reenactment at Van Raalte Farm in Holland Michigan. Here is shot of a soldier before they went into battle.
I can't believe that it was 5 years ago that I went to this reenactment.
So would this be like street photography from the mid 1800's?
