brilliant 'green' of city-nature



I was looking through my photos from japan in the summer - I was struck with just how brilliantly GREEN green can be, 'natural green' in the city... it's almost unreal... I don't know if it's just my camera, but it really seems too green (good) to be true. take these photos for example:




it's probably cause those days were (extremely) sunny but, these other photos I took in the same region just has a more calm/sad feeling...













I guess these illustrate what we city people view as nature in our day to day life... and it IS nature, it IS magnificent, contained in the perfect way, clustered in parks and lined up along roads... just the way we want it...
