Tokyo garden

Weird weather sometimes in Japan.

I lately understood what the Asian weather was like.

You can be sitting comfortably on a bench in the sun, enjoying the sound of the birds singing and in the wind in the trees, when suddenly you find yourself under a pouring rain !

Lucky enough there’s convenience stores selling those very charming see-through umbrellas everywhere you go !

This is the Ueno Park, where I previously took the kid’s carrousels photos. There’s a really nice temple and pretty flowers in this same park.

Only wish I could be there again, even with the worst weather ever …

Le temps est vraiment bizarre parfois au pays du soleil levant.

J’ai compris récemment ce que pouvait être la météo en Asie.

On peut être confortablement assis sur un banc, à écouter les chants des oiseaux et le vent dans les arbres, et être brusquement surpris par une averse torrentielle !

C’est une chance que des parapluie soient disponibles un peu partout, en particulier les très charmants modèles transparents.

Voici ici le Parc Ueno, ou j’ai pris dernièrement les photos de manège pour enfants. Il y a un très joli temple dans ce parc, ainsi que de très belles fleurs.

Si seulement je pouvais y être encore, même par le temps le plus maussade …

I like the way you capture Tokyo, somehow it looks differently, but I guess you see it differently from how I see it just like I probably see Paris differently from the locals! Great photos.

Waouw !! Splendide les photos !! Je me demandais si tu savais où l’on pouvait se procurer un sac chanel comme celui ci ?? Si il n’existait pas un site pour acheter en ligne ???
Je n’habite pas à Paris et je galère chez moi pour m’en procurer un … je n’ai pas trop le temps de monter sur la capitale !
J’ai essayé sur ebay mais je trouve que c’est pas trop fiable et j’ai peur de l’imitation !

Merci bcp !!!! :D

Excellente continuation !!!

Un p’tit passage pour te dire que je t’emprunte la première photo de ton article, elle sera sûrement publiée sur mon blog dans peu de temps (avec un lien vers le tiens hein !). Voili voilou, je préfèrais te prévenir avant tout, j’en profite pour te dire que les photos de ton dernières articles sont exquises, réellement, et que quand je serais belle, grande riche et célèbre j’achèterai tes créations, gngn.

Zoubi,
Gaby.
