A Throwback to a beautiful morning in Osaka, in the April of 2019, when the world was a different place and exactly a year before the pandemic was to hit us all. The trip was a dream come true for me, in more ways than one, as Japan had been on my bucket list for the longest time and now, looking back, it seems that fate had ordained that trip for me because, come 2020, everything changed and travel became the first casualty the world over. As i type this post, I find it hard to even imagine now how travel used to be in the pre-pandemic era.
For today’s #SkywatchFriday, I’m sharing two photos from our Osaka trip today, that gives a glimpse of that beautiful morning, as we were about to enter the magnificent seven-storied Osaka Castle, considered to be one of Japan’s most famous landmarks, as well as emblem of power and fortune.


That’s all for today. Will be back next week with more sky pictures. Until then, have a lovely weekend and take care!

The skies are lovely but I’m so distracted by the cherry blossoms.
