Those are interesting. I have no idea what they are! I really like this photo...it's somewhat mysterious...

might have said before...but really like these shinjuku park shots a lot...not images you would immediately associate with japan, let alone tokyo...bleak, stark with a sense of melancholy...

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

I was working my way backwards through your images and was about to ask you what kind of trees these are when I got to this image and found you're asking the same question.

14 Apr 2008 10:24am

@Twelvebit: ...and yet still no answer! I'll have to search on the Internet at this rate...

ruben latre from Terrassa, Spain

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

I can tell what what they are: plane trees (Platanus) in the French garden side of the Shinjuku Gyoen. I favour them in autumn, their big palmate leaves turn golden yellow and it is a sight to see! The leaves make a wonderful carpet to sink your feet in! But in spring they barber them in such a terrible way!!!
Your processing created a special atmosphere which reminds me of a scene from Lord of the Rings - where the Shepherds of the Trees hold a meeting!

@Japanalia: Plane trees eh? Now I know! Thanks Gabriela.
