Miriel's posts with tag: garden
|  | While browsing through iPhoto, I just realized that I had not sorted, edited and uploaded my Tokyo photos! Life was happening then. This will be a series which I grouped together based on the basic themes that stuck me most while we were in Tokyo.
I call this series "Peace" since being in the many gardens of Tokyo offered just that --a respite from the high speed Tokyo pace. Photos from these series are from Shinjuku Gyo-en and Hama-Rikyu. Shinjuku Gyo-en was a sprawling garden which aside from its huge Japanese garden also featured French and English gardens plus the d*mn biggest chrystanthenums. Hama-Rikyu, though much smaller, did not disappoint either. Being along the river, it also known as the "beach garden" and was the jump off point for the Asakusa river cruise.
Aside from these, I also saw a lot of pocket gardens all over the city. Having all these greenery in a city is what makes it a world class metropolis and not just another urban jungle.
