Wisteria in Ashikaga Flower Park - 足利フラワーパーク

今年は昼間に観ておきたいとクラブツーリズムのバスツアーに参加。満員だった。至る所中国語が飛び交っていてここは一体どこの国かと錯覚するくらいだ。申込時のプランでは昼食後にフラワーパークに入ることになっていたのだが、実際にはツアーの最後で入門は15時半を過ぎていた。この時間には太陽の位置がかなり下がってくるので、フォトグラファー的には納得しかねる変更だった。

This year, we decided to see the wisteria during the day as we had enjoyed its night view before, and joined the bus tour run by Club Tourism which was full. Even more packed was the garden and most noticeably the Chinese language was flying around everywhere. The original schedule according to the plan when booked was to visit the garden after lunch, but actually it was arranged toward the end of the tour and we arrived at the garden after 15:30. From the standpoint of a photographer strictly speaking, this was unacceptable because the sun was already in decline.
