KANAZAWA, JAPAN, 8th November 2010 - Hiking the way up to Kenrokuen Garden, I stopped briefly at this street.
I remember this place because I saw a photograph somewhere of this stretch of shops and street during spring (first photograph above).
It's a thrill to recognize the place and see the trees - even if they are shorn of their spring glory.
Wind was bracing, light was fading even if it was mid-afternoon...few people about.

Mood: anticipation
(in seeing one of the top three most beautiful gardens in Japan)
