I am a bit out of it — did not sleep for quite a while, but not managing to fall asleep properly now. Staying in Europe and not going to this year’s TPAC, I am trying to shift my waking hours to match Japan. Not very successfully so far.

Well, time to repost some older photos from Pixelfed!

A photo of a magnolia tree with pink flowers blooming. Many of the flowers are in focus, below the tree there is a green bench, some bushes, and a few petals on the asphalt and ground. The sky is bright blue, a gradient from darker color on top, to a lighter one on the bottom. Behind the tree there are some out of focus buildings, signs, and cars.

This was at the end of this March, when trees started to get their leaves, and blooming with flowers.

A photo of a few leafless tree branches with flower buds growing on them, shot against a clear blue sky. Only a few flower buds are in focus, and only a few of them are lit by the sun, with the rest being in shade and out of focus.

Weather was pretty nice that day: sunny, with some clouds. There were a bunch of people in the parks.

A photo of a small park with some houses visible nearby. Close to the middle, a person is walking to the right, holding a paper bag in one hand, and a clothe bag in another. Further away on the path, there is a little girl on a pink bicycle. Even further there is a playground and another person can be barely seen there. There is a lot of green in the photo: grass and leaves, and the sun is shining brightly, leaving many shadows. The sky is mostly clear, with a single cloud barely visible.

I went a long way, intending to get a tram back. Passed between the viaduct with the tram line on top, and noticed some houses nested under it.

A photo of a two-storey house under a railway bridge. The sun is shining brightly, with just a single cloud in the blue sky, but only a part of the house is light-up by it, with a shadow of a bridge going diagonally over the building and a stone fence near it.

Went pretty randomly, through some parks I never visited before.

A photo of a path in a small park, with people sitting on benches. Sun is shining brightly, trees — a pine, and some firs or spruces — leave dark shadows on a bright-green grass. A dog can be barely seen lying on the grass, and a few people are playing football (“soccer”) on a small field.
A lot of activity in the park.

Ended up going onto some hill with a dead end, but managed to find a private (but open) path between properties.

A photo of a path, going in a slight curve a bit uphill. The path consists of large white stone squares visible from between the grass. On the left there is a hedge, on the right and forwards there are brick fences. Behind the forward fence there are trees and bushes, with two small chimneys visible. The sun is shining brightly, the shadow of a stone fence on the right covers most of the path and creates angled ridges from its slight change in elevation.

I did not manage to make many good photos: I was still getting used to the wider lens, and unlike when I was in the forest, it was a bit harder to get good shots.

A photo of a courtyard as seen from over a top of a door in a hedge. There is a single tree in the middle, with some plants here and there, potted and not. The sun is shining brightly, the tree in the middle leaves a shadow, the leaves of the hedge are forming a frame around the photo with out-of-focus leaves.

Funnily enough, the tram did not work that day, and some of the closest bus stops were closed because of some construction. Well.

A photo of a short arc-shaped tunnel with brick walls. The road is narrow, and is enough for only one car, with two pedestrian walkways on each side: the left one is wider than a narrow right one. The front of the tunnel is framed with green vines and tree branches, some of which has white flowers on them. After the tunnel, a few trees are visible, blossoming with pink flowers, as well as a few buildings and cars. Before the tunnel is all in shade, but further in the tunnel there is light, with the sun making a bright spot on one of the tunnel's walls.

In the end, I just walked all the back home, and tested a nice hill climb with a staircase.

A photo of a stair path from a steep incline, with many houses between the trees visible down below on the horizon in the background. The sun is soon to be set, and it lights up brightly the scene. There are walls on both sides of the path, with an opening on the right. A woman is sitting with her phone in the opening. Trees are visible on the left, behind the wall — a few green branches of a pine or a spruce, and orange leaves of some other trees. Some other small details in the shot: a low streetlamp near the stairs, a couple of people barely visible descending them, some signs, a house near a way visible through the opening, and an antenna on top of its roof.

That’s it. I’ll now go drink some tea, eat some food, and try to go sleep for a while.
