Infrastructure

So I found this picture randomly in my archive and thought that it looked kind of cool. I don't really have much to say about it other than that in Japan they do not bury most of their electrical utilities. Basically, overhead power lines are just part of the everyday landscape unlike most of America. There are probably lots of reasons for this (possibly earthquake related) but I don't know them.
I don't know, there just seems to be a lot of contrast between the power lines and the cloudy blue sky that made this picture striking to me.

Morning Reflection

Well I just got back from the ASLA Expo in Minneapolis and just through that I should put up a few pictures from the trip. This one is from right outside of the convention center with a reflection of the church across the street. For some strange reason, when I look at this picture I always seem to see an eye in the reflection of the sky on the center-right side of the glass building. Some of the technical parts of this picture are not a great as I would like them to be but I took this while walking to the front door of the convention center so it didn't have time to set it up properly.

Strange plants in the grass

Ok so I have no idea what to make of this picture or what to call it so sorry about the odd name. While we were at the Olympic Youth Center in Tokyo we stopped by the garden there to sketch. Well, like a good student I am, I spent the entire time taking pictures which was quite nice since I didn't get very much time throughout the trip to really sit down and compose a few pictures. In this shoot of the garden I even was able to try out some time lapse photography which eats up a ton of time as the name implies. For this picture however, I was sitting down on the ground and found some really interesting plants growing out of the grass. I picked this picture from the set since it has the out of focus path in the background which gives that faint sense of destination. Well thats all for now so Enjoy!
