大阪市西区靱本町にある靱公園（うつぼ公園）の中を走ってみました。靱公園は、四つ橋筋からなにわ筋を越えて、あみだ池筋に至るまでの東西に細長い形をしています。大阪市の中ではとても大きな公園です。(700m x 150m). 部分的に速いスピードで走っているように見えますが、実際はゆっくりと走っています。カメラを最も広角にし、低い位置に付けているので実際よりもスピード感があります。また、遠近感が異なり、左右が狭く見え、通行人にぶつかりそうに見えますが、実際は十分に間隔が空いています。 I ran in Utsubo Koen Park in Osaka. Utsubo Park is a large public, urban park, situated at Utsubo-Hommachi in Nishi-ku, Osaka, Japan. The park was constructed at the site of a former air field of United States Army, so the land is long rectangle shape characteristic of a runway (700m x 150m). This place was one of the busiest fish wholesale market (Zakoba fish market and Utsubo dried fish market), from Edo period until 1931, at that time a new wholesale market was opened at Fukushima ward. The Utsubo Tennis Center occupies a large area of the western part of the park. Some international tennis tournament have been held there. The most famous one is the HP Open and World Super Junior Tennis Championships. Around the eastern part of this park, many cafes and bakery have opened after 1990. Sometimes open-air wedding are held at the rose garden. This area is becoming one of the fashionable places in Osaka city.
