Nagoya Castle Courtyard

Posted on April 25, 2008 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

This is one of my favorite shots of Nagoya Castle despite the sky being blown a bit. The weather was very warm, bright, and sunny. I was shooting around 2:00pm which is not good, but I had a polarizer on my lens and this helped quite a bit at capturing additional detail and color. I actually in this particular photo like the white background as it give the photo more of a portrait feel. It was not very busy as I visited on a Monday. I did go in the Castle and it was a great experience. By the way, I really felt like Nagoya Castle was kind of a date place for many couples. They were all over the place which was interesting I thought. For those that live in Japan, when you notice a dating place, you know what I mean…at least on this day I thought. Lots of fun.

TV Love Japan

Posted on April 24, 2008 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

I saw these two old televisions propped up atop an old refridgerator and thought they were instantly in love….laugh. Although people throw lots of stuff like this away in Japan, I haven’t seen anything like this for a while. I also thought it was interesting how the two TVs were the same size, but the back end had a different design. Fun shot I thought.

Taxi Japan!

Posted on April 19, 2008 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

Taxis are often found lined up along side of the road waiting for customers. In Nagano the taxis literally are in line waiting for the next client as you have to grab a taxi from the head of the line first. The drivers are very good about this and will usher you to the front if necessary. This may not be true in other parts of Japan like Tokyo, but here these guys definitely play fair.

Standing in line

At the same time as the Sakura, you find a lot of these extremely bright yellow followers all over the place. I don’t know their name, but they are abundant here in Nagano. I thought these flowers looked like they were fighting for a place in line. Fun shot.
