Thanks Wojtek and Merv !

Former Chemical Laboratory of the Army Osaka Artillery Arsenal built in 1919.
This is located in the north of Osaka Castle. Needs repair but no budget

Thanks Wojtek and Terry !

Here are some more pictures I took today.
This was a beautiful day and I enjoyed flowers too

A police helicopter was training touch-and-go flying above the castle garden and the police headquarters nearby.
This may be also a good chance to introduce a replica of our ancient warehouse building with the thatched roof like an ancient English house.
Thanks !

Thanks Wojtek, Hugh, Andy and Wayne for your kind comments
The weather was good this week but will be getting cloudy and rainy week by week for the rainy season coming soon.

It was fine today anyhow and I am pleased to introduce our Osaka City Central Public Hall located half an hour walk from the castle. Built in 1918, a year earlier than the army chemical laboratory, but still active.

Looking great.

Thanks Wojtek !
The rainy season has started from today and will continue for more than a month.
Fewer chances to walk around

So you need a good umbrella and wellies.

 

[Shinpachi]

That's true
Thanks.

I hope a dinghy won't be needed. Here in the Europe a couple of countries was hit by severe rainfalls and floods though.

 

[Shinpachi]

The recent floods news in Europe is certainly incredible for me.
I hope everyone there is safe and OK.
Thanks !

 

[Wurger]

It seems that the rainfalls were stopped at the Polish-German borderline. The day is the next very hot and sunny one during the week. However just a thunderstorm with a shower has finished.

This tree was hit by lightning half a century ago but did not die to encourage people in my neighborhood.
Please let me share.
