Was in Kyoto's famed Arashimaya Bamboo Grove on April's Fool day in 2015. I loved the tranquility of the place which can still be felt despite the huge crowd there - it was after all Cherry Blossom season, which is a peak travel season for both local and overseas travelers to Japan.

I usually avoid "Instantgrammie" type filters, but this was one of the few that I thought they actually enhanced the look and mood by a great deal, as it was a wet day when I was there.

This was taken with a Nokia Lumia 1520's in Rich Capture mode and post-processed with Adobe Photoshop Express.

An alternative name I wanted to give this picture was "The Monsters Within" as one can see a couple of stray "trees" that broke up the monotony of the green beautifully among the bamboo plants and added interest to the picture.
