KANAZAWA, JAPAN, 8th November 2010  – I stopped briefly at this street before I proceeded with my hike to Kenrokuen Garden,

I remember this place because I saw a photograph somewhere of this stretch of shops and street during spring (first photograph above). It’s a thrill to recognize the place and see the trees – even if they are shorn of their spring glory.

A bracing breeze and as I walked through the entrance, the light was fading even if it was mid-afternoon…there were only few people braving the coldness *rubs hands*

Mood: anticipation (in seeing one of the top three most beautiful gardens in Japan)
