Sakura 2016: Around the Neighbourhood
Saturday, April 23, 2016
Alright, I'm finally here with the last sakura post of the year. Long after the sakura have fallen. Anyway, the last place that I went to this year was... my neighbourhood XD I did this two years ago too, so I'll try not to post the same type of photos.
First up, the sakura near the post office! I don't know why, but sakura + post office = Japan to me. At least, this is one of the mental formulas I hold in my mind.
And after that, I decided to try and get a few close-up shots. I'm not sure if it's something wrong with my settings or my camera (it's probably my settings), but in a lot of my photos, the edges were extremely soft. So these are the better ones.
- insert witty/entertaining comment, if I had one -
This was one of the blurry-but-not-that-blurry one.
And another one:
You know, I didn't notice that the last photo was so dark when I was editing it. I wonder what I was thinking at that time.
After I was done at the post office, I made my way to the park near the Muromi river.
And for some reason, this sakura petal fell so perfectly onto the blade of grass. I don't even know how that happens.
Last few photos would be at the path leading to the shrine. The sakura petals were falling like rain that day, but I couldn't really get a good shot.
I guess this was the best shot that I could get of the falling sakura:
And for some reason, clumps of sakura dotted the handrails:
That's about all that I have for this year. Not that many photos, but I hope you enjoyed them! You can find the previous photos here.
