Some Of My Favorites (Pics of Japan, Ponds)

Your photos are absolutely breathtaking! I spent all morning going through this thread. One of the most enjoyable things I have ever done. I love the way the cherry blossom was imposed on one pic and the water dragons are gorgeous. This is one place I have always wanted to go but will probably never get there. The land is stunning! It is almost like a fantasy. Thank you so much for the tour. It meant a lot to me..

Been a while since I seen this old thread of mine. How time flies by.. I love this picture of Gene in Japan. He is at the house of breeder Hasegawa and he has just observe tanks of kohaku and showa. He said he had to sit down when he saw the high quality of his koi, his face almost looks like in a state of shock. Look at his hands, they are shaking so fast even camera could not make picture clear. He said the quality of his koi was so overwhelming, he had to sit down and take it all in. It was first time he had been there. I forget other man's name, if not for him Gene would have not got his foot in the door of Hasegawa home. Gene was able to buy some of his koi, they are now growing in his mud ponds.
