Osaka Castle

"Wonderful Tonight.
The roads were empty on this breezy night with intermittent rain. I stormed out of my home with my camera, hopped on my bike and began roaming towards a site that I had always wanted to photograph for years. Biking on slippery roads wasn't fun enough, so I bought a popsicle from a convenience store on the way. While riding my bike with one hand, my other was busy assisting the savoring of the popsicle. As I stopped at one of the traffic lights, a random thought crossed my mind: would I be willing, able, or have the energy to do this a few years down the road?
Although the rain had stopped when I arrived, I still felt the mist that loomed around this pond as my lens began to fog. Next to the castle was some funky red/pink themed party with lights spraying everywhere, synchronized with heavy musical beats. As people began to leave in their furry evening gowns and tuxedos, I buzzed by in my almost-pajamas with a big smile on my face. By then, I knew I had a wonderful night."
