the sky was wonderfully blue

A little photo log of what I saw this weekend, so... Picture-heavy entry ahead.
.: TODAI :.
todai clocktower (i think it'll look monstrously intimidating at night)
two trees? ...no. one tree, one reflection. i love the big todai pond!
don't know how i took this, but it looks like a film negative
zen bridge. i love bridges. love crossing them too
treacherous-looking path
shadow photographer
rocks, trees, water
wonderful archways. it feels so medieval
the library
swirly spirals outside the library
graceful tree
Goshuden-mon. Let's just call it the red gate
look! my legs seem skinny here!
the red sign and the red gate
extremely delicious mango lassielunch. brinjal+potato curry, naan (which tasted GREAT!)
.: OKUMA GARDEN :.
I loved Todai for its pond and its architecture, and was grousing that Waseda doesn't have a pond. We went into Okuma Garden, and I was delighted to find a quaint (read: tiny) stream, and a little pond! Small, but really pretty. (And somewhat dirty. With scary-looking fat koi).
hard to believe it's in the middle of school campus
greenery everywhere. i can't wait to see orangey and reddy. ;p
we have maple trees too! :D
very traditonal-looking house. it's just there. can i claim it?
it's calling out, "stroll here!"
reminds me of a river bank. a scaled down one
.: WASEDA 125th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS :.
the mandatory clocktower shot. look at the crowd!
morning parade: worldwide university leaders. the road was cordoned off!
hello, halloween!
evening parade: students walking from takadanobaba station to school
truck festooned with balloons from top to bottom, front to back
the face on the float says "RAAAR!"Labels: Japan, pics
