Background Photos - old bathhouse, geothermal valley

#1 Post by rinrin »

I had the opportunity to take a few photographs of an old Japanese bathhouse last week and thought of sharing them. They should work well as backgrounds, either as-is or filtered / processed. Feel free to use them any way you like - no restrictions, no credit needed.
The resolution is pretty low - if enough people are interested, I could take some higher-res photos the next time I go there.

Just to give you some context, the bathhouse is in Taiwan - it was built by the Japanese during the colonial period.
Second floor. This room was apparently used for relaxation and tea-drinking after taking a bath.

First floor (I suppose most people in the West would consider this ground floor). I couldn't get a good photo of the actual bathing area (it hasn't been in use for decades anyway) but this is what the surrounding area looks like.
