東京は夜の7時 : 公園

The work for public park is Kouen [公園] and we talk out after dindins walk at the new one nearby our house that was recently completed.

Is it me or I sense typo :O Anyways, the park is very well lit.. the lights look kinda harsh ^^"

Looks like a nice night out. Wonder how many pull-ups I could do on that thingy

No worries on the desk giveaway, there were hundreds of entries, that is a lot to go through!

love the second shot! and the quality int also the first one ist just amazing. I think I will order my lx3 finally today...

good work.

good work.

Photos at night are kind of eerie ^^;; The pull-up thingy looks cute though xD;

I'm looking forward to seeing the winners Danny~ God luck with sorting out the final placement of winners :3

hey everyone, i have a question and would like to ask the opinion from all of you..so the question is which one is better to buy in the terms of price, picture quality, accessories (3rd party) between Canon powershot G10 and Panasonic Lumix LX3 (same with the one owned by danny)....
thanks...

Beautiful pictures as usual, you must have crouched really low to get that angle on the second one.

Did you put your cam on the floor for the second shot? o.o

That's not much of a park...more like a small plaza or something, the whole thing is paved over!

While Tokyo seems to have really awesome/interesting urban design, it seems very little of it involves any grass, plants, or trees at all.

Striaght out of anime, love it.

We have a pretty large park near our house as well. When I was little, I used to go there with my friends all the time and play base ball. We even made our own little golf hold. We cut the grass and made our own green and tee off area. :3

The park isn't grassy huh??? Looking at the photos... somehow remind me of Welcome to NHK ^^

You are giving away too much stuff XD i can't keep up....
must compete with fellow otaku's must I'm so tired XD

This may sound silly but can anybody explain me how to post news XD if have been on the site for like 2,5 years but I'm too shy to post stuff but i got huge news now that I wanted to post .... any fellow smart person want to point me out in the right direction ? : P

ooows I feel embarrassed XD tnx in advance ^^"

We have parks that have bars for chin ups and things like that here but it doesn't look half as nice or clean as it does over there ^^;

Danny I've always wonder since you take so many photos. Have you ever gotten in trouble for taking photos in stores and things...Most of the time I'm worried about talking photos especially in stores in case I get in trouble. Or do you sneak photos? Since your camera is quite large compared to other smaller digital cameras wouldn't it be quite hard?

I have yet seen a park that small so far.. Are there no basketball courts etc.? Parks over here are large, usually have public courts and a vast field in the back for various sports.

Parks over here are ancient though.. The staffs just re-paints over the part where they see rust and what not. Would love to visit a newly made park for a change.. ^^

have anyone flung them self over the pull up bar? or goes spinning( kinda impossible)>.<

Seems like a really nice ark minus the grass. ^^; Still looks cool with all the concrete and lights.

i'm more interested in the photo than the park. for some reason. the 2nd shot is nice :D. never really used public park. yeah laugh at me.

Nice pictures Danny. Who's that in the first picture?

Ahhh I learnt the word for park in my Japanese evening classes, along with lotsa other public places, like Toshokan, Yubinkyoku, etc etc.

They call them parks but these kind of parks in Japan are more like courtyards than parks. I hear these are also destination points for locals to go to in case of emergencies.

Second shot is awesome. Were you on the ground when you took it?

Amazing photography skills as ever Danny

A small kouen but cosy ^^. Lovely weather to take a walk!

That park is surprisingly eerie in a lonely sort of way. Very confined and surrounded by buildings and society, but at the same time, so secluded. It's beautiful in its own way.

Oooh pull up bars! :D Sort or weird hot there are multiple bars on one... can't do any spins on it then :(

No grass?! This is no park sir, this is a paved area that looks nice with a table, bin and pull up bars.

Lights and a pull-up bar...wish I had that around here...

Great photos Danny! The pull up bars have multiple bars on it, that's strange. The pull-up bars in my country are always designed this way - 2 poles and a bar.

The second shot was really good. Your photography skills amaze me as always :)

small and quite park. if there was a park here it would be overcrowded in no time, even at midnight.

I wanna walk there XD

really quit in midnight !

That sorta parks looks like one of those places people would hang out.
Too much grey though, don't see much greenery there. I guess if they added some grass there, it would die pretty fast from people walking all over it.

If only they made that bar so people can do backflips and stuff on it. Like the gymnast do.

Nice photos. There aren't to many parks around my area, and what few we do have are far to small and generally lack enough shade (which doesn't make much sense when you're in a desert -_-;).
Although I have heard of one park here that is suppose to be amazing, I need to find the time to go and see it.

that's a nice park! i have noticed the lack of parks in the town i lived...is it because is rather small area? XD

I always like the night photos. Despite being in the suburbs a park is really out of the way.
Yay new giveaway ^('.')^

Great pics as usual. My Canon SD1100 digi cam doesn't give the same great quality pics at night. Maybe its because of the crappy orange lighting we have for street lights here.

Needs more pictures of the park itself.

Parks here where I live have grass and swings, not bars. Now you can see why Japan is more healthy than the United States lol

That park is soooo much cleaner and brighter than the parks here. You should have got more than just two pictures, I want to see more of the park. ^_^
The parks here are scary at night, what with it being dark and having lots of homeless people. @_@

Sweet!!! I like to go to japan just to go sight seeing around and buy all the figures that I set my sight on, I have traveled to many places and lived in the Philippines for many years but I never ever got to go to japan. Now I'm thinking of going to japan this year, might as well spend Christmas in japan if I'm going heheheh!!!

Come to think of it, Philippines is just two hours away from japan by airplane, and yet I never ever got to go to japan XD!!!!

It's a park yet I don't see too much grass :p

Why there is a pantograph & headlight on top of the shelter on the 2nd pic?
Is it a railway themed park?

きれいですね

There's a small playground like this near my office; it's full of chain-smoking salarymen from 9am till 9pm!

Around here...we only have it at the extreme side of the countries...none so like the ones there...

in my place, the park is where u can see a lot of girls..
hahahahahaha..

Danny, with all the pics with the Lumix these days... are you abandoning your Nikon? :O

I even bought Nikon because of you!

They look colorful, really colorful, HDRI?

Kouen [公園]?? cool name :3

That park looks rather small~ compared to what i see in rural subdivisions at least... :)

our parks are crap and not well equipped

Cant complain about the parks here, but only old people use the "gym equipment" in the parks here, I never see any young people working out.

go to park that near the university
sure there is a lot of young student there

It's quite bright for a 7 PM shot. Lots of light is good ^^

that is park.

Must be nice to take a walk in such a quiet park once in awhile ^.^
