The Osaka Garden

This garden is nice (I imagine it's much nicer when the weather isn't inclement). Anyways, from the website I imagined it would be a lot larger; it's tiny, even for Japan's standards. On the plus side, it was completely deserted, so I was able to try out my new IR (infrared) filter and use my tripod without lots of people staring. :D
Looking to the outside of the garden at Jackson Park:


Lantern and pond in the park:

On the walk there, the sun was out and it was a beautiful day. When I arrived, it started to get a little cloudy and a few dry flakes started falling. It was blowing like crazy and freezing cold (-7 without windchill), so I was able to snap for a bit and then had to pack it in. By the time I put my tripod away, it was snowing so hard you couldn't see more than 50ft in front of you! And I was pretty thoroughly chilled by the time I got home.
