Feel The Autumn

I know it's already winter but...

It's been a while since I posted my last picture...  I wish I could have more time for photography.  I'll try my best to post more pics.  Google+もすっかりご無沙汰してしまいました…復活めざしてがんばります。

The Antique Luminous

Here's a picture for +Hawkea's friends this week's theme Vintage.

I love the antiques from this old western style house in Kobe, Japan.
This city used to be a famous port city for foreign trades and many western people lived in this area.
