This afternoon I sneaked away from work early to go fly a kite. I just couldn't get my brain into gear all day today so at about 2.30pm I just gave up trying. Half and hour later I was flying my super-10 kite at Miyazu Park. The wind was really cold requiring a woolly hat to keep my head from going numb.
Before leaving I took a few photos around Miyazu Garden. This is a Japanese style garden that is named after the City Miyazu, which is Nelson's Japanese Sistercity. I love the style of these gardens, elegant, but down to earth and simple at the same time. Everything carefully, contemplatively, laid out to lead the eye from one feature to the next. Every nook and cranny interesting. I always like to photograph them in black and white because of the array of textures in the wood and stone. It must be the feng shui of the place, but I always leave there feeling relaxed.
