Nogata city police department building

            This is the border between Kitakyushu and Nogata city. 

This March and April too were extremely cold for this part of Japan, and we had lots of rainy or snowy days in March, and it hurt us this spring.

We visited this place a week too late this time, most of the tulips were not really healthy and kind of dying from a serious of thunderstorms we had in the end of March. 

When there is no flower festival here, it is normally used for local soccer boy teams.  A group of local boys playing soccer games and they are actually quite good at that; they are small clubs, but they have earned some famous soccer players who eventually became J-Leaguers.  

This time, I just used my FE24-105mm f4GOSS for most of my images in this set.  And this will be my last album made with that lens as I am finally selling it in this Sat day. 

Many people in online camera fora trashed it, but it was a great lens for practical photographic works.   There were many times and scenes that I could never shoot without it. But the prime loving photo-snob industry just trash this sort of lenses.
