Today's Photos

[drplokta]

Here's the Ginza by night. We were staying about two blocks from here.




And a bunch from the tour of the Tokyo Imperial Palace grounds this morning.

A seventeenth century keep/watch-tower (from the roof of which one can see Mt Fuji).






Our guide, with loudhailer.




A sculpture representing a pine tree, outside the main palace complex.




A carefully sculpted tree.




Me, reflected in a palace window.




A lotus blossom in a moat (which is entirely choked with lotus).




No photos of the main palace complex because it was built in the '60s from reinforced concrete.

Hee: I got a Hold your clicks a moment please... Flickr has the hiccups. We're looking into the problem right now. when I clicked through to Flickr. Your thumbnails were showing here fine though. (Hmmm, and Flickr's back now.)

I like that sculptured tree. There's more around the Keep too.
