Let's go and see turtles ! (1)
Turtle's town, Kameido / Part 1(Tokyo)



One day of May we
went to Kameid shrine (Tokyo,Japan)to see turtles.

At first we found a statue named " Hanekame" that means the turtles with wings in the front of the station.

These are the statue,"hanekame"
lit up in the evening.
They were pictures taken in August, 2008, more than 9 years later from
the days taken an upper picture.

To my sorry, I couldn't take the most beautiful pictures lit up because of lightness of early evening.

But we can feel a fantastic and romantic atmosphere different from that in daytime.

On the way to the shrine
when we looked at our feet
we found turtles like this
on the tiles of the sidewalk.

There were full of turtles in the pond of Kameido shrine.

All were turtless, though they look as a lot of stones.

We took a picture just at the moment when a turtle clime a rock!

It was in the middle of festival of wisteria flowers.

They were very beautiful !

A lot of turtles basked in the sun on the island with fountain in the pond like this.


What they look pleasant !
I want to bask in the sun, too !
