Thinking of spring brings back memories of sakura (桜) and hanami (花見) in Tokyo. The brief blooms often infect me with some melancholy. The blossoms at Aoyama Cemetery (青山霊園) have that effect in abundance; however, I often break that sadness by thinking anyone able to afford a family grave here must have lived a good life. This photo was taken on a brief detour one fine spring morning almost 7-years ago. My friends always found me alittle strange, especially when i took them on shortcuts through this Cemetery 02 April 2014 20218 © Michael Mercado // lost-tokyo.blogspot.com // lost-edo.tumblr.com // www.facebook.com/Lost.Edo #Sakura #Hanami #桜 #花見 #CherryTree #AoyamaCemetery #青山霊園 #Roppongi #Akasaka #Minato #Tokyo #Japan #六本木 #赤坂 #港区 #東京 #東京都 #日本 #NoFilter #OriginalPhoto #OriginalPhotography #Nikon #NikonD600 #D600 #LostTokyo (at 青山霊園) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMyrCsrA4Ub/?igshid=nqpy9opg85hh -- source link
