I'm a dabbling photographer strolling around Osaka and Kyoto with a sense of haiku.
This blog is focusing mostly on Osaka. There's a sibling 'Kyoto Photo Stroll'.

Magnificent castle walls
The walls of Osaka Castle are one of the most magnificent walls in Japan.
見事な石垣
日本一の城は姫路城であろう。しかしその姫路城でも石垣では大阪城に敵うまい。

Bridge to the castle keep
This is a bridge spanning the moat at Osaka Castle. You are to walk through a maze of stonewall between the bridge and the keep.
天守への橋
こちらは大阪城内濠に架かる極楽橋。天守閣への石垣の迷路もすばらしい。

Castle under the blue sky
The keep of Osaka Castle was very splendid under the perfect blue sky.
青空の大阪城
大阪城天守閣、快晴の空を背景にとても美しい。

Winter beauty
While I'm enjoying fresh verdure in spring I have to miss the beauty of winter bare trees.
冬の美
春の新緑を楽しみながらも冬の枯れ木の美しさを思い出してしまいます。

Cascading cherry blossoms
It was a marvellous collaboration of cherry blossoms and stone walls at Osaka Castle.
流れ落ちる桜
大阪城の桜と石垣の協演はすばらしいものでした。

Castle at night
The walls of Osaka Castle were beautifully lit up at night.
夜の石垣
こちらは大阪城の石垣と櫓。真に美しく大阪人の誇り。戦禍を免れたのは幸い。逆に大阪の恥は前市長の橋下徹だろうか。彼は頭はよく回るようだが教養がまったくない。大阪城が解体されなくてよかった。「はしした」としか読めない名を「はしもと」と呼ぶのも不可解。センテンス・スプリングのベッキー風に言えば"Under the Bridge"。どうあがいても「橋の下」。

Castle at sunset
Osaka Castle was very beautiful at sunset with the perfect balance of the keep, the walls and the moat.
夕映えの城
日本には沢山の城があるが天守、石垣、堀の調和という点ではこの大阪城が随一ではないだろうか。

Castle in the twilight
This is the keep of Osaka Castle which is definitely the landmark of Osaka. The original keep was burned down by lightning in 1665 and the existing keep was built in 1931 with modern technology.
たそがれの天守閣
なぜか世間では余り人気のない大阪城だがやはり大阪人の誇り。天守閣が本物でないのが残念。

The shape of the sky
This is a picture of Osaka castle and trees at dusk. I rather focused on the composition.
空の形
これは薄暮の大阪城と木々の光画写真ですが私は構図に注力しました。

The last shogun
This is a silhouette of Osaka castle at dusk, which looks like a shogun in armor seeing his last days with sorrow and vanity.
最後の将軍
これは薄暮の大阪城のシルエットだが哀しみと虚しさで最後の日々を見つめる将軍のように見える。

Castle at sunset
This is a picture of Osaka castle which is often said to be one of the three greatest castles in Japan along with Himeji castle and Kumamoto castle. But this castle was rebuilt in 1931 with modern technology, so it looks a little bit flashy.
夕暮れの城
これは姫路城、熊本城と並び日本三名城と称されることもある大阪城である。復元天守閣なので些か安っぽく見えるが日没時はなかなか味わいがある。

Osaka Castle in the winter light
Despite getting officially into the spring we are going through gloomy days.
While being overwhelmed by the devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami on 3/11 we were seized by human disaster that Fukushima nuclear power plant was out of control having a possibility of melt down. Even now we are threatened by radioactive contamination of the air, water and food watching if we can avert catastrophe like Chernobyl.
冬の光の中の大阪城
春とはいえ憂鬱な日が続いています。
「わが国の原子力技術はソ連とは違う。従って安全性に問題はない。」
チェルノブイリ原発の爆発事故以来何度となく聞かされた言葉だが福島第一原発が嘘だったことを証明しました。デマカセがばれると今度は「想定外」の連発で責任回避と保身に終始。実際は想定外どころか東電と政府は数々の警告を無視し続けてきたようです。単なる人災ですね。

Castle and tree in silhouette
Although I'm not a fan of historic structures I've taken this scene many times. That's just because I'm obsessed with this composition.
シルエットな夕暮れ
私は城などは陳腐で余り好きではないのだがこの風景はよく撮る。それはこの構図が気に入ってるからなのだ。
