Sakura.. Cherry Blossom

These are some of the beautiful cherry blossom pics taken during the Spring of 2004. My memoirs of Japan will not be complete if it does not mention Sakura.

Being a flower lover to the core, I was spell-bound by the beauty of a cherry blossom tree fully laden with the blossoms.

The colors range from redish pink to completely white. If visiting Japan one must plan it for Spring time.

Yokohama City...

The view of Yokohama city, Japan from the Osambashi Pier. This photo was taken after a lot of trial and error with the night setting and it has captured the essence of Yokohama.

This picture reminds me of the lazy Saturday evenings, it had become a routine for our group of around 20-25 Indians to gather at the pier during weekend.

We simply enjoyed the beautiful view.
