Tokyo Ueno Park 28 Oct 2007
The pagoda-type building in the photo is really vertical, it was my camera (or perhaps me) that was a bit crooked (this WAS the jet lag recovery day). This is taken looking across a pond that is filled with a type of floating or water-based vegetation. I think I later read this pond is known for containing lotus. I suspect we were there too late in the season to see lotus blossoms. The interesting cookie-shaped things on stems appear to be some kind of seedpod. Perhaps it develops later in the season, after the plant is no longer producing blossoms.
