Happy Place, Happy Space: Japan Memories (Osaka Oct 2023)

Loving Husband has a photographic eye. Looking through our Japan trip photos from a couple of months ago, it is clear who takes the artistic photos. For the Debbie’s One Word Sunday’s prompt of minimal, I use some of his from Osaka.

From top left, clockwise: All taken by Loving Husband 1)  Yodogawa Riverside Park 2) sushi at Taishomaru, a “fishing port bar” recommended by Loving Husband’s whisky bar, 3) riding off into the sunset, 4) garlic ramen, all gone, 5) front of a funeral parlour (also the Feature Photo)

And one I took on Osaka Castle grounds, Loving Husband in front of the largest stone used to build the castle walls.

Reading your Joyful Posts brings me to my happy place. I hope having them in one place makes it easier for you to find when you need a bit of happy therapy, too.

    1. This was just the regular train – not the super fast shinkansen! Loving Husband has quite a fascination for trains so he photographed quite a few of them.

      Yes, the B&W is rather dramatic. We actually stopped to look into this funeral parlour (we only figured out what it was because there was a sign nearby) because the arch is not quite a tori gate which usually marks a shrine. We were quite fascinated.

      1. When my kids were little, they were fascinated with trains, especially Thomas & Friends. We used to sing the theme song and make so many tracks. Trains are fascinating!
        Wow, the B&W does make the funeral parlour more dramatic looking.
