reflections on canal, a seagull on gas light・・・・・

This area is the major tourist spot of Otaru, Hokkaido, since the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) of Japan selected the area to the 100 beautiful urban landscapes in 1986. The canal was completed in 1961 by the reclamation work.
The old houses on right side of canal had been used as warehouse when the port of Otaru was the most booming time. Today, those warehouses are used for restaurant, bar, cafe and various shops, so the area became most attractive night spot in Otaru. The warehouses are lighted up until midnight and canal side pavement is also lighted up by the gas lights.

I had rain most during my trip, but, the rain was just stopped only this time.
If the weather is fine, the area is so beautiful like this wonderful image.
Have a look at another great capture!!! Both of wonderful images were shared by LuciaLin.
Thank you LuciaLin for your sharing such wonderful images.
Thank you for you viewing and wishing you a lovely weekend!
