Sakura

Cherrymap

The thing to do in Kanto last week was to go to "hanami" (rough translation: "let’s use looking at flowers as an excuse for a huge picnic") and spend a day in the open with friends while enjoying the beloved "sakura" cherry blossoms while they’re here. Apparently it’s going to rain most of this week so the famously fragile sakura are probably going to be gone by next week, but I managed to do a bit of flower watching in Odawara and around Tokai campus, and finished it off with a picnic in Yoyogi park in Tokyo on Sunday. I’ve put up a small photo album with some pictures I took, although they don’t really do the sakura flowers justice, as the weaknesses of the camera in my cellphone become quite apparent when trying to capture the details of Japans favorite pink/white flower.

    Hmmmm, tak for tippet. Jeg hentede den fra nettet og jeg tvivler p? at det er de “rigtige” Leftfield der er tale om.

    Hi Jens,

    Long time no see. Looks like you enjoyed “hanami” in many places. Ten days ago, my wife and I drove to the border of Kamakura and Zushi to see night sakuras in a quiet residence place. We found them very beautiful.

    Best wishes, Takao

    Hi Takao!

    Good to hear from you! Did you move in to your new house yet?

    Hi Jens,

    We moved to a new house in Kamakura three months ago, and now we have settled in here after a tired clean-up of the house!

    Goddag!
    Vedr. kirsebaertrae-billeder m? jeg sige, at jeg har vanskeligt ved at udpege det ultimative,super smukkeste.
    Enten nr.2 eller 3. Det er noget med kompositionen af den stringente form af broen og traeerne lethed, samt ikke mindst “sammens?tningen” af farverne.Betagende!!!!

    Wow, jeg havde nu ikke forventet ligefrem at blive udsat for en dybere analyse da jeg tog billederne, men tak! ;)
