Iidabashi Station
Iidabashi JR railway station during spring time, with cherry blossoms tree in the background, through the 400mm cannon from Canon !
Pink
This cherry tree blossomed quite early in Tokyo, just before the late snow we had at the beginning of the week.
Hyacinth
The hyacinths from last year just bloomed in my tiny Japanese garden ! How lovely.
Spring Coming
First flowers appearing on the trees of Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo.
Stop Putin
Peaceful demonstration against the Russian dictator in Shinjuku.
Gunma Escape
A brief escape to the nearby snowy mountains of Gunma for some winter fun on the slopes.
New Shibuya
The renewal of the area around Shibuya station is taking shape. Old buildings are torn down, new ones are rising. Exciting times ahead.
Cup Sizes
All the cup sizes from Starbucks in Japan. I usually go for the short one. For my taste, I don’t see the point of anything beyond the Tall size. Actually they didn’t even sell Grande nor Venti until recently..
Mighty SpaceShip
Repurposed princess castle, Minnie Mouse cake shop and a few other things into an awesome spaceship. Look at the amount of serious engineering that went into that beauty!
Winter Socks
I wonder what these are for? To protect against cold, or some kind of animal as the upper part suggests, or maybe both? Shot at the at the Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine, formerly known at the Kitaguchi Hongū Fuji Sengen Jinja (北口本宮冨士浅間神社 or North Entrance Fuji Sengen Shrine). Edit – got an answer from Dr. Kubota…
Metal Dragon
Awesome dragon at the Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine, formerly known at the Kitaguchi Hongū Fuji Sengen Jinja (北口本宮冨士浅間神社 or North Entrance Fuji Sengen Shrine).
Fujisan Drive
Clear view of Mt. Fuji this Sunday. This is rare enough to take a few photos while driving towards it.
New Year Prayer
Japanese tradition for the new year : go to the temple and pray, here at the Meiji Jingu shrine in Harajuku. Can you see the ¥500 coin being tossed in the air on the first shot?
