Hello my Flickr friends! After a few days of break, here I am again.
I've been in London in these past days and once again I visited one of the cutest places in this lovely city: Kyoto Garden, inside Holland Park, a tiny space occupied by a nice garden in an absolutely gorgeus Japanese style. Truly a gem to visit!
This long exposure was taken hands free, without tripod, and it was raining really heavily that day! I'm aware it's a bit blurred... But I like it anyway!

Kyoto Gardens is a popular part of Holland Park in London. The garden is a traditional Japanese garden with tranquil tiered waterfalls and a serene pond full of Koi Carp. There are Japanese maple trees (pictured) and peacocks wandering around to add to the atmosphere.
Thanks for visiting. Take care out there. All the best......
Here we are again in London, Kyoto Garden to be precise!
This is one of my favourite spots of this amazing city, so peaceful and always deserted - only a few people know of the existence of this little gem.
Unfortunately, as every time, I come here unorganised: also this time I forgot my tripod! So, this is a long exposure done by hand. Be kind with my shacky hand! :)

Another view from the Kyoto Friendship Garden which was created to celebrate the twinning of the city of Edinburgh and the prefecture of Kyoto in Japan back in 2002. This particular view is looking south towards the top of the garden at a higher level, with one of two doric order columns located within the castle grounds visible just to the right of the frame, screened by branches and leaves. It has stood there since the 1840s.
Designed by Takashi Sawano, the official garden name is the ‘Castle Garden to Water and Beyond’.

Located within the grounds of Lauriston Castle - dating back to the 16th century - in north-west Edinburgh, the Kyoto Friendship Garden was created to celebrate the twinning of the city of Edinburgh and the prefecture of Kyoto in Japan back in 2002. The Kyoto Prefecture is located in the Kansai region of Honshu, the largest and most populated of the the islands of Japan.
Designed by Takashi Sawano, its official name is the ‘Castle Garden to Water and Beyond’. The northern extent of the garden features several avenues of traditional blossom trees, a miniature pond and, at particular instances, momentary glances towards Cramond Island which lies in the Firth of Forth beyond.

Garden with colourful plants, shrubs and water features, created by eminent Japanese designer Shoji Nakahara in 1991 as part of the Japan Festival.
Perfectly manicured, the landscape garden’s waterfall quietly trickling is the only background noise you’ll hear. It’s easy to see why it made the list of most beautiful places in London.
The three-step waterfall symbolises mountains and deep gorges while the large pond depicts a vast ocean – a natural landscape in miniature form.
Traditional Japanese garden elements such as stone lanterns (Toro) and a stone wash basin (Tsukubai) are also present.
Seen in Kyoto Garden, Holland Park, London
Kyoto Garden is one of the best gardens to visit in London. It is well-maintained and has plants that flourish year-round. I believe the most beautiful it is in the fall, we would see large pops of color in the Japanese acers throughout the garden.
As you walk around the Kyoto Garden path, look into the pond and you may spot some koi fish. Seems The Heron has noticed them too...unfortunately they are far too big for him...but who knows what can come over!
"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle. go around it. Water does." Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

Cherry Blossom in the Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London.
The Kyoto Garden was created to celebrate the Japan Festival in London in 1992. This was a co-operative project between the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce in Japan.
We went up to London recently for dinner. We had plenty of time, so we left home early and took a walk around Holland Park before eating. This waterfall is in the Japanese garden and very pleasant it is too.
Taken with my Fujifilm X-T30 II camera and a XF18-55mm lens.

Così lontana ma ancora vicina
La luce si accede e la musica muore
Ma tu non mi vedi qui in piedi
Sono venuta solo per dirti addio
Sono nell’angolo a guardare mentre la baci
Sto dando tutta me stessa, ma non sarò quella che porterai a casa
E continuo a ballare da sola.
So far away but still so near
The lights come up, the music dies
But you don’t see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye
I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
And I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the guy you’re taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own.
