I love flowers. It’s astounding in how many colors those beautiful petals come and how they can please the eye as little dots of color along the way. Of course there are little front yards and flowers on the balconies in Germany, but here in Japan I find it amazing how many flowers can fit…
On Sundays, especially on sunny Sundays, the Imperial Palace is a great place to visit. Not the palace itself, nor the famous Nijûbashi, but the Imperial Palace Grounds. The vast space of the park with it’s neatly trimmed grass and shady trees is the perfect place to relax. On Sundays some of the surrounding parts…
My first visit to the Tokyo Tower was not ideal for the view because of fog that crept around the town, but I was impressed nevertheless. I’m looking forward to visit again (and take some better pictures ^^)
First seen on Sumikai… The Kintaikyo Bridge, Symbol of Iwakuni in the Yamaguchi prefecture, spans the Nishiki river and is unique in its construction.
