11-18-11 A Stroll Through The Park - Koishikawa Korakuen

Last week's entry was kind of a memorial of sorts for myself. This week, is more of my true intent of maintaining this blog. Every Friday, rain or shine, I intend to be out there taking making pictures. Different locations, different gear or different techniques. I like to wander to new places or revisit favorites. In this case, I chose to return to one of my favorite spots in Tokyo, Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens.

This place is always a nice change, since here I can work on landscape and wildlife images. Quite different from the street photography I've been doing as of late. A very refreshing, quiet and peaceful place where it is easy to spend a few hours of your day. If the weather is fine, that is. Luckily, yesterday turned out great. A bit overcast at the start, so a few of these images (unfortunately) have really white skies. But that's better than rain, I guess.

Leaves! That is all.

Less leaves.

Ducks are my entry-level bird photography subject.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look/read. I'll be back next week. Cheers!
