Often the only way to have a garden in Tokyo.

Storm Brewing
Storm Brewing in the direction of Chiba. Shot from my favourite viewing platform in Tokyo :)

Red Roses
Even the ugliest of houses can hold a bit of beauty !

Rising Steel and Concrete
One year difference between the two pictures. Office building on the left, apartment building on the right. And as always, the apartment building looks ugly in comparison to the office one.

Blue Hats
The Blue Hats from BR31 !

Saizeriya – サイゼリヤ
One of the ubiquitous family restaurant in Japan (ファミレス) : Saizeriya. I actually like it, the “Italian” food they serve is simple, not too bad, and amazingly cheap. Only ¥3,000 for all you can see on the pictures, including the wine ! Quite popular for dates too :)

Steamy Kusatsu
Perhaps Kusatsu Onsen looks even better on a cold rainy day like this ! Last time we visited Kusatsu was in summer last year : Kusatsu Onsen on Image Japan.
-
e-oven
The wood oven we used in Karuizawa. That thing would have made Vulcan proud ! I do not think I have ever witnessed meat being cooked so fast, nor garlic carbonized to such degree. Next time, do not follow the instructions, put a little bit less wood in it ;-)

1CX16
For a little break in between Sakura shots : a Japanese construction worker at a construction site in Tokyo.

Yukiguni
On the west side of the Japanese Alps, it always snows a lot during winter. This area is poetically referred to as Yukiguni (雪国) or Snow Country. Those shots were taken in Echigo Yuzawa, a few hundred meters away from the railway stations where the Shinkansen brought us !

Crowded Commute
Rush hour in the evening in Shinjuku.
-
Kerosene Heater
Never thought I would own a Kerosene Heater, was not even aware of their very existence before coming to Japan ! This is an Aladdin Blue Flame, fancy name for something rather archaic.

Happy New Year
Wishing you all, dear followers, a wonderful new year 2013 !

Stupid Neighbour
Look at what an idiot did in order to prevent people from sitting on his precious fence !

Merry Christmas to you all ! :)

Christmas Shopping
I knew it would be a painful morning so to lighten the mood, I took my 135mm along. One shot made my day, can you guess which one ?
