Here’s Yokohama at night. By this point I was running out of steam.. so I honestly don’t
remember much about how I took these shots.. -_-;;
The famous Ferris wheel (Cosmo Clock 21). Supposedly the biggest in the world or something..
Sneaky shot of a couple strolling through the park!! This one’s going into my personal “lovers” collection.
This is the kind of look you can get with a 50mm (“50.2”) lens. It has a unique feel..
The Red Brick Warehouse at night. The full moon was absolutely beautiful, but it didn’t
really come through in the photo..
This is the really long bridge that runs from the Red Brick Warehouse to Yamashita Park.
Stopped by the international passenger terminal (Osanbashi) halfway for a night shot..
Took this one on the way up to Harbor View Park (Minato-no-Mieru-Oka). In real life the lighting is a much, much prettier pastel,
but it didn’t come out well.. A decent tripod would cost about 400,000 won (around 40,000 yen).. -_-;; Should I splurge or not.. I’m seriously
thinking it over.
Yokohama’s star attraction!! The Bay Bridge at night. Every 30 minutes the lights change
between white and blue. It’s magical, but these days it’s being overshadowed by the Rainbow Bridge in Odaiba..
After this shot I hopped on the Minatomirai Line and went straight home. It was a truly hardcore
schedule. Next time I shouldn’t do this.. First go to Motomachi and see Harbor View
Park.. then Motomachi, Chinatown, Yamashita Park, the passenger terminal, the Red Brick Warehouse, Landmark
Tower and the Ferris wheel, in that order, then head home.. I think that makes a perfect one-day itinerary.
And.. wow, there really are a lot of couples in this world.. enough to fill all of wide Yokohama.. sigh…
Next time I come I’ll have to try one of those course meals too.. ^_^; Though I wonder if things will go that smoothly..
