Friday Shootout- Architecture (Misawa Train Park)

Today's shootout is "Architecture" assigned by Jen. This is my first time to take detailed architectural photos, and I don't know if some of these are not considered architecture :-) just bear with me, I'm still amateur in photography hehehe.

I went to "Train Park" yesterday close to Misawa Air Base where I saw a lot of pink lanterns hanging around the park which signify the "cherry blossom blooming" in Misawa. I took all of my shots here for this Friday Shootout at the same time enjoying the warm weather but .....ohhhh it's so sad to see that the cherry blossom (sakura) are started to fall off from the trees.

You should be awarded the most original view of a seesaw award! There is such a strong sense of geometry and perspective that runs throughout these shots. The train wheels with their strong pink angled driving rod! I really really like this whole series -- The series holds together, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Euclid in vivid color.

I wonder if you noticed the "landscape" scene in the "tree trunk?"

Reena said...

ang lalim naman nung sinmabi nung una mong commentor. hehehe...kaka-pressure! :)

GingerV said...

This was just wonderful, you have a very good eye for the detail - i love the perspective shot in the train park with the pink lanterns and the remaining cherry blossoms.

aurbie said...

Well, you sure did a great job. I love everything you shot. You picked a nice variety of things, too, and it was fun looking at them.

That seesaw shot is awesome.

Abe is right about the tree. Looks like a little city is just beyond that little hill of trees in the tree shape.

Missy, not sure myself about the architecture theme in your photos, but who cares. You certainly have come up with the fabulous photos, showing that you have a real eye for detail. I just love the see saw photo too and my all time favorite is the pink lantern at the start of your post! Great photography being shown here, I enjoyed it very much. Debby
