Dearest Minoru-san;
ReplyDeleteWhat a sightseeing with blue color♡♡♡ We've just finished dinner and my husband LOVED to see "the sea bus designed by Reiji Matumoto" ; he likes 『宇宙戦艦ヤマト』 p;)
I checked 落とし積み with pc, which doesn't make horizontal line and learned 石垣 has several way of constant. Thank you very much for the new knowledge.
Oh I'd like to see Tokyo someday!!!
Sincerely from Yamaguchi, xoxo Miyako*

Thank you for sharing these photographs. My toddler watched over my shoulder, and was particularly fond of the seabus and "robot" :)
ReplyDeleteDear Besty.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment. I want to say hallo to your child.

ReplyDeleteDear Viera.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment.
i always wanted to visit the Gandum... but too far.. I don;t know how to go ! may i know where is location?
ReplyDeleteDear CQUEK.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment. I will explain how to go to Daiba monorail station from Tokyo railroad station. You need to get on Yamanote line bound for Shinagawa. Two stop from Tokyo, You need get off at Shinbashi station. Then get on a monorail named Yurikamome, and six stop is Daiba. It takes one or two minutes to go to Gundum by walking from Daiba station. OK?
Minoru, you visit the most wonderful places, and I so appreciate you "taking us along with you."
ReplyDeleteI just love Gandum. He is one big boy!!! :-)
Dear Lisa.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment.
This was so interesting! We love boats and harbors ... what an amazing contrast between the old-style tour boat and that ultra-modern one. Loved the robot statue and just the "big-city" aspect ... thank you for showing us.
ReplyDeleteDear Sallie.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment.

こんにちは、お台場の景色も、あらためて拝見すると絵になる景色ばかりですね。
ReplyDelete３枚目の親子とカモメの写真は、ちょっと印象的でぐっときました。
あと御座船、安宅丸と宇宙船のような海上バスの対比もとても面白いです。
花粉が飛ばなくなったら撮りにいってみたいと思いました。

Deleteこんばんは。お元気になられて良かったですね。お褒めいただきありがとうございます。久しぶりに行きましたので、とても新鮮な気分になれました。 あのお母さんは、マスクをしてましたので、それが写らない写真は少なくて苦労しました。
あのバスはヒミコと言って、浅草とお台場を１日に数回往復しています。 時刻表を調べれば、浅草でも撮れます。
Hello Minoru,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these beautiful blues, and thank you for your kind comment.
Have a Happy Blue Monday!

このポスト面白かったです。 この数年お台場には行ってないので、懐かしくもありました。 松本零士さんって、聞いたことあります。漫画家さんですかね？ その海上バス乗ってみたいです。
ReplyDeleteDear Akemi-sama.
Deleteおはようございます。 松本零士さんは「銀河鉄道999」という漫画で有名ですが、私は読んだ事はありません。海上バスは浅草と台場を往復しています。途中で浜離宮で下船する事も出来ます。
Fascinating photos of the beach front. love the old sightseeing ferry and what an amazing design is that sea bus.
ReplyDeleteDear Gemma.

Good photos Minoru. I love the sea!!
ReplyDeleteIn the 80s in Spain there was a cartoon series Mazinger Z. They are a Japanese artist Go Nagai. They saw my children. I dedicated a post, it was very famous. Statue Gandum reminded me :)

Good Wednesdays.

Dear Laura.
DeleteThank you very much for your comment. Mazinger Z is very similar to Gandum. But they are different.
Gandum You Tube is as follows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k4QANktzPU.
Wishing you a wonderful week.
This looks like a great summer hangout, Minoru. I love the shot of the old style sightseeing boat against that very modern skyline.
