If you can somehow draw your attention away from that extra beautiful Harvest Moon out there in our Osaka skies, you might be a little delighted to see a new addition to the Umeda Sky Building; a stunning pink ribbon of lights! It looks just great all pinky and shiny, although it could be bigger I think!
I remember being happily surprised the other day when Yahoo! Japan was all pink in hue, to support the education of breast cancer awareness. Some body cream I brought back from Australia on my last trip were also all pink in prettiness, with a proportion of the sales going toward breast cancer research. Fabulous. Just fabulous this out loud reminder for women's (and men's) health in bold. Go take a 'peek at the pink' if you are in the area; I'm not sure how long it will be there.
The last time I had such fun with favourite buildings in flashy bling, was when the Sydney Harbour Bridge was all lit up a few years back. An old school friend was getting married in the Sydney Opera House on the day before I was due to fly back to Osaka in the early hours of the next morning. Although I couldn't party hard all night, the bridge all lit up in mystery gave me quite a buzz, and made a perfect backdrop for photos original.
Osaka landscapes change so constantly. Stay aware of your surroundings if you can. The new Mitsukoshi Isetan Department Store being built in Umeda, has already blocked the view of the Sky Building from the top of the Canon Gallery (see the post "MAKE a day of it with your CAMERA"). The symbolic ABC Tower on Naniwa-suji street in Fukushima is slowly, slowly growing shorter and shorter and shorter from the bottom down. Change is everywhere. Keep your eyes open to the wonder.
