yokohama.kaiko.promenade.開.港.の.道

from chukagai to yamashita-koen (山下公園)  to minato mirai 21. there is this pleasant promenade that lead you from chinatown to minato mirai 21 area.

hikawa maru (cruise ship) is now permanently docked at the pier, accompanying yamashita koen day and night.

there are many retired men sketching and paintings.  you admired them.  especially their determination to pursuit such hobby at such an old age.  you wonder if you will every pursue your passion for arts like them too when you finally retired and have time for such hobby...

along the promenade, you love the open space here, it is not so crowded like the china town or like most areas in tokyo.  you are blessed with the mild weather that you can walk really slowly, enjoying every scenes along the way, without hurry.

a string of pigeons accompanying hikawa maru. it's picturesque as you observe them and angle your camera...

the futuristic osanbashi an international passenger terminal is quite a funky place to be.  but you didn't walk towards it as you are already tired after this far...

red akarenga warehouse (横浜赤レンガ倉庫), you love the ice ring right in front of the red warehouse, you love how the red accentuate the grey sky, adding a dash of color to the view in front of you.

you love everything you see in this red akarenga warehouse (横浜赤レンガ倉庫).  there are plenty of stores to browse and bought some funky chocolate here...

you walk on further, before you realize, cosmo clock 21 (the big wheel) welcome you on the right, and landmark tower waiting for you on the left.
