...an occasional series
Hello there, it has been a while. But I will be picking up a bit more soon as I find more time to write. Which is why I am here. But not today...well, sort of.
A fair bit has happened since that last look at the moon (previous post) but I am now well into my final semester of teaching. And I have just a few walks left in my marathon effort of the 21 walks of Musashino, but more on that soon.
Today, the first real day where it felt like autumn has finally arrived. It has been a long, very long, hot, very hot summer, so we are grateful for the cooler days.
I had a few things to choose from today and I opted for the occasional series of parks in and around Tokyo. There are many and many of them can be a true green oasis of sorts. Many of them have long histories, involving daimyo and shogun, emperors and others. On this lovely afternoon, I opted to head to Korakuen, better known these days for Tokyo Dome, a huge baseball and concert stadium. It is surrounded by an amusement park and, tucked in behind, a park. That was my objective today. Again, a place I have passed by so many times on the train, but today I got off and here is what I saw...

So yes, busier than I expected but not crowded. Lots to see and in the different seasons, it would be quite stunning I imagine, although today was perfectly fine. I think I'll be back.
Today's cam, traveling light, Lumix G99D, 14-140mm.
