And on the subject of Japan

And as promised here’s a part 3 of pictures from Rob C of his trip to Japan in November. As he mentioned on his previous post here: “…the changing leaves are also a popular attraction in the autumn.” “…as the days passed, there were clearer and clearer signs of the leaves turning from green to gold to vibrant red”. Wonderful stuff Rob!

And musical related to this post here’s Ginza Dub off Tokyo Dub by Martin Campbell & Hi Tech Roots Dynamics.

Autumnal Japan

Thanks to Rob C again for a few more pictures from his trip. As he writes, “Japan is obviously famous for its cherry blossoms in the spring, but the changing leaves are also a popular attraction in the autumn. It was a little early when I was there, but as the days passed, there were clearer and clearer signs of the leaves turning from green to gold to vibrant red”.

And to say we are in awe of the greatness of Tokyo Tower above, (officially Japan Radio Tower as it says on Wikipedia) is an understatement. It puts our local radio/TV landmark at Crystal Palace to shame. It would be nice to have a little crystal set rigged up to a MP3 recorder and see what can be picked up from the photo location!

Thanks a million Rob, well interesting photographs and we may even have a part three to this series!

We’ve had Scotland earlier so now Japan

Thanks to our good friend Rob C who’s just returned from a trip to Japan and sent us some great horticulturally themed pictures. The first (above) are fruit trees in Tokyo’s Imperial Gardens. Wow, they really are some large sized fruit!

While he was on his way to Meiji Jingu one of the Shinto shrines there, he caught this great display of minature gardens above. They’re excellent Rob, more photographs please!
