Sunshine Nagoya

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

Sunshine Nagoya was found on a dirty street corner at the side of a busy intersection. It’s amazing what you find in unlikely areas. With everyone all around I got down on my knees as low as possible and snapped this little guy up as close with my 17-55mm. As I mentioned on some other photos, I am not a big flower buff, but I do like to photograph those that I think really stand out. It was a beautiful sunny day when I visited Nagoya and this flower has become a symbol of that visit for me.

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.
