Collage: Yokohama

Voila! Kryptos has churned out another masterpiece. What we have here this time is a collage of four photos taken at various landmarks in Yokohama. They've been edited with Photoshop CS to mimick a lomographic effect.

The first photo is taken in Chinatown. Kantei Temple, to be exact.

One of the heroes in the romance of "The Three Kingdoms" , 'Kanwu', is enshrined as the God of Business in this magnificent richly colored temple. ~Yokohama Convention and Visitors Bureau

The second photo is one of the three famous towers in Yokohama, known as Jack. Unfortunately, I only have Jack in the collage and not the King nor the Queen.

The red brick clock tower of the Yokohama City Port-opening Memorial Hall represents the Jack. The Islamic like green dome of the Yokohama Customhouse the Queen. The square two-layered tower of the Kanagawa Prefectural Government the King. For a long time the towers have been affectionately known by these names because of their uniquely elegant appearance. ~Yokohama Convention and Visitors Bureau

There're three spots in the city from which the three towers can all be seen at once. Visit all the three spots, make a wish and it shall be granted. Or, at least, so it is said.

The third photo is taken at the Kanagawa Prefecture Museum (神奈川県立博物館). It is situated by Basha-michi. The building has a distinctive architectural style even though it's not as popular, relative to other famous spots in Yokohama.

The fourth photo is taken at Red Brick Warehouse (赤レンガ), Minato Mirai. The 100-year-old buildings are built from red bricks.

The collage is also available as a desktop wallpaper for a modest US$50. Cheques should be crossed, and made payable to "Help Kryptos Get Rich Fund".
