#aoyamacemetery

Thinking of spring brings back memories of sakura (桜) and hanami (花見) in Tokyo. The brief blooms often infect me with some melancholy. The blossoms at Aoyama Cemetery (青山霊園) have that effect in abundance; however, I often break that sadness by thinking anyone able to afford a family grave here must have lived a good life.

This photo was taken on a brief detour one fine spring morning almost 7-years ago.

My friends always found me alittle strange, especially when i took them on shortcuts through this Cemetery

Green wall and yellow taxi. Between Aoyama Cemetary and Roppongi Hills is Roppongi Tunnel, which connects Aazabu Juban and Akabanebashi with Aoyama Cemetary and Gaien Higashi Dori. One one side just before the entrance is a wall covered with vines the wall on the other side is a wall covered with the Roppongi Tunnel Muruals (六本木トンネルの壁画).
