Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park

Today I headed off on another bike journey. On this occasion I headed off in an easterly direction, a route that followed Yodo river and ended up at Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park. I didn't know much about the park before going there, it just seemed like a good destination when looking at the map. When I got there I was surprised how big the park was and that it was the site for the 1990 International Garden and greenery exposition, apparently the first of its kind in Asia.

Ah! I wonder how they have captured the essence of my home country in garden form? Let's have a look.............

 

Oh.....I see. Pretty accurate actually.

I really didn't like the way that heron was looking at me.

Some budding senior artists.

That guy on the left was so orange you could barely see him amongst the autumn leaves.

Some more senior citizens. I think they were playing open air bingo. Or something involving a grid of numbers anyway.
