Crane Welcomes Fall
"Chaos of colors
comes to life in a lens as
Crane welcomes fall"
A Haiku seemed a fitting match for a Tokyo fall scene, so there's my little attempt. I tried several parks in Tokyo looking for the right mix of color until I found this little gem at Hibiya park in Chiyoda City area near the Imperial Palace. The rainbow of colors on display blew me away, and the little crane statue added just the right touch. The composition is rather chaotic with no clear focus, I rather wish I could've got something with the statue more central in the composition, but that angle just didn't work. As the haiku suggests, I personally feel that the chaos works to communicate the clutter of fall colors that somehow still come together to give one a feeling of peace and contentment.
Captured on a recent fast trip to Tokyo just before US thanksgiving. I was fortunate to hit this park first thing in the morning on a workday. I had tried some other parks on the weekend and they were mobbed with fall color seekers. On a weekday morning however, there were only a few souls lingering in the park while the rest of the world rushed to the office.
Taken with Pentax K-1 and Pentax 24-70mm lens using Pixel shift feature.
A very Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends!!
