I’m late posting my photo hunt entry! I hope I haven’t posted these yet as photo hunt entries. 
These are 2007 spring pictures of Kyoto - my favorite place in Japan, and I think the most beautiful, too!
Happy photo hunting!
I love spring because of the Sakura and all those flowers blooming everywhere. But, I don’t like it because it rains almost everyday. Anyway, lately I’ve been to some rivers here in Osaka and I’ve taken some photos. It’s kind of nostalgic but I think rivers, buildings, bridges, and gloomy weather go well together.
The photos above were taken using my faithful phone camera. Taken somewhere near Tenmabashi area but I forgot the name of that river.
I thought I’d never see more Sakura this year. I planned on going to Kyoto but I canceled it because of the rain. I still don’t have a new job but I had other things that kept busy so I’ve been away from blogging world for a few days, and I didn’t have much time going around Osaka to see Sakura. Thanks to Osaka Mint. With 370 trees and 125 varieties of Sakura Trees, my short trip there was really worth it. They opened the place to the public starting today, April 16th, until April 22nd.
Here are some photos:
The weather was great last Saturday so I went to Osaka Castle Park to take pictures. The Japanese love to do “hanami” or Sakura viewing, so the park was crowded. I couldn’t get decent photos of Sakura because some of the food stalls were placed near the trees. I think they spoil the beauty of the Sakura.
Last year, a couple of friends and I went to Kyoto for Sakura Hunting. Indeed, Kyoto is still far better than Osaka Castle Park for Sakura viewing. Anyway, here are my favorite close-up photos using my camera phone:
