These lotuses are in Kamakura in front of the Shinto shrine. This was the first time I have ever seen them in real life. The are very, very big and beautiful.

Very nice job summer..................i just receintly photographed some lotus and found it difficult because of the height and size of the leaves. It was hard to isolate a portion and compose it. You have done an excellent job here.

Yes, I agree that they are very tall, and the leaves are very large. I appreciate the kind word. I really wanted to capture these just perfect and do them justice.
