Here Comes the Weather...

Here Comes the Weather...

Right before the storm clouds opened, the sky got extremely dark. But, as the sky behind me was still blue, this building's reflective windows stood out quite well.

Yurikamome

Yurikamome

Even though I was running late, while wandering across Kounan-Ohashi, I had to take a photo of Yurikamome, A great big round-in-a-circle motorway on/off ramp. It heads onto Rainbow Bridge but I couldn't get any decent shots of that, it's too big.

Door Frame

Door Frame

More of an instructional shot than anything arty. This is taken at eye-level.

Note to self: Duck.

The grey strip is a handy bit of rubber some kind soul put there to make sure it's not as painful walking into the door as it could have been.

Chucking it down

Chucking it down

Yeah, I know, Edinburgh gets it fair share of rain, too. But this is like switching on a shower. And then all of a sudden it stops. Kind of like switching off a shower...

Big Electrical Things

Big Electrical Things

Don't have a clue what they're called but they're big and shiny.


They could be Big Telephone Things, I guess.

Cabling

Cabling

Of course, with Japan's tendency to have all the cabling overhead (as opposed to the UK's underground cabling), it does mean that this is right outside my window. I could touch it if I were so inclined. And it's dripping wet.

I'm not 100% sure if this is a good thing..

Rain on the Roof

Rain on the Roof

It just started raining so I thought I'd take some shots. It's properly chucking it down. This is the roof of the building opposite.

Daytime Cars (and a fella on a bike)

Daytime Cars (and a fella on a bike)

Standing outside the Tokyo Regional Government buildings looking towards the Imperial Palace. The government buildings themselves were quite impressive but I didn't want to risk upsetting the stern-looking guards standing outside them by taking any photos in their direction.

Shibuya Mid-Afternoon

Shibuya Mid-Afternoon

This is half-way through my commute from the office back to my apartment. Get off one exceptionally busy train, through the exceptionally busy square, onto a slightly less busy train.


I'm fairly sure the woman on the left posed as soon as got my camera out.
