Siesta in early summer, a photo from 東京, 関東

Photographer's Note

This photograph is taken in Yoyogi Park located in a metropolitan area in the early summer of four years ago. Although this park was an army ground in prewar, it became the occupation U.S. Forces facility and the Washington heights after the end of the war, and was used as Yoyogi athletes' dormitories by Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964. And then, it is redeveloped and opens as Yoyogi Park in 1967. The site in Yoyogi Park is the fourth largest park a metropolitan area with 540,529.00m2. A wide green lawn is in a site and it is loved all the year round as a place of a Tokyoite's rest. One woman was taking a nap pleasantly under trees, as if she avoid hot sunlight. It may be a cool water which forgets the bustle of a city for her.

(p.s.)
1. A mother and her child relax at the lawn: workshop
2. Young girls who enjoy the ball game at green lawn

Bonjour, Mikio,
Qu'il est doux de ne rien faire quand tout s'agite autour de vous !
Jolie prise de vue d'un moment de repos sous un arbre � l'ombre protectrice.
Amiti駸.

Hello Mikio,
Excellent snapshot in very good light. The lady must be very tired, may be a lot of sightseeing(?). I like the nice arrangement in well cropped format with simple colors.
Very well done.
Greetings,
Miro

Hi Mikio,
There is a very relaxed and pleasant mood in this picture. The girl is well positioned in the picture and comfortably leaning against the tree. Many attractive shades of green here. Also the WS pictures are also very relaxed and pleasant. Excellent!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Mikio
I love the overall atmosphere created in mainly peaceful green tones. A delightful reminder of that afternoon siesta; the light is quite delicious! and good focus on as she is making the most of that little moment in slumberland coolly shaded oblivious to the surrounding. Great timely capture adding a little something to this shot. Well done, TFS
Best regards

Hello Mikio,
Greetings from Israel. I am borrowing my wife's tablet to surf the net a bit. I hope to start uploading again after I get back home.
I like how you caught this lady in the middle of her siesta. Has the word "siesta" made it into the Japanese language, too?
Regards,
MT
