Tokyo
-Imperial Palace
(-part 1)

 

You probably wonder what's the exact interest of this photo... Well, simply that -here- we see the fishes + there are fishes! Contrary to the river in the capital of some country I won't speak about but any French will understand what I mean!

A "secondary entrance" to the Imperial Palace...

 

 


View from the bridge you see on the previous photo, looking on the right while going to the Palace: I liked the mix between tradition (giant walls), modern (buildings in the back) and the little occidental maybe or anyway weird touch: mini-bushes in the middle!

First photo taken on the way back from TokyoStation, only a mini-parc in front of the Imperial Palace (facing the main entrance).

 


-Ze- traditionnal photo that any tourist in Tokyo simply has to take! The Palace itself is a little blurry here, but well... any tourist has to take a picture of this view, it's kind of an obligation!

One of the check-points/entrance, closed of course, as beautiful as kept in good condition (of the art of detail up to the ironworks!)

 

...next check-point, I wanted to have some trees on the front of my picture, but I believe I exagerated the trees-dose here, didn't I...


What you see when you turn your back from the previous check-point... I really like the piece of bough that falls from nowhere up the photo!

Still another check-point... but looks like it is used nowadays, as it looks quite more easy/quick to open or close!

 

 

 

 

It was full of swans, but they meanly often swam far from me and my camera... so when I saw one of them coming next to me, I jumped to my camera! And took a not so good photo, because I didn't want it to... "fly away"... don't trust the plastic bag too, M. Swan only had the bad idea to come around me in the only m² around where a plastic bag could be seen: the area was most clean... except -this- m²!

I finally found the way to get into the Imperial Palace, I was beginning to lose hope after a while, seeing all these closed check-points! A "samourai house" in the back-ground, meaning still another check-point of the ancient times...

 



Inside the Imperial Palace, still another parc, seen from one of the "high-points" inside the... parc/Palace. It was already rather late in the afternoon (and it closes early) so quite deserted, but I always enjoy seeing people taking the time to enjoy their life and the sun like that...
