The Asahi River between Korakuen and Okayama Castle


A closer close up of the flood proof embankment along the Asahi River... several lessons to be learnt for cities in India




The flood proof embankment along the Asahi River...



The Asahi River... beautiful and serene... yet needed to be managed for flood control... see the embankment...



The ancient sledge... that was used to move the stones to build the Okayama Castle... recreated to inform the people about the tremendous work put in by the people at that time...


The pigeons in front of the Asahi River... the bridges behind it, and the Korakuen Island to the right across the river




The blue rock pigeons basking in the warm sunlight in a cold December month at the Public Garden near the Asahi River.

The open air amphitheatre in the public garden near the Asahi River, between Korakuen Garden and the Okayama Castle. Beautiful place, very scenic.
