Rainy Reflection Tokyo



It snowed in Tokyo in this April, a record for the first time in 41 years.
Unseasonable weather in this spring.

Many rainy days, almost like crying.





Brightness and darkness...  Shine and shadow...
The big city has various expressions.

Deeply and more deeper..





Jungle of the Far East.
A lot of people are at a loss...

Oops. Red lights.


Here is in front of the Tokyo Station, Marunouchi side entrance.

  15. Rain is the same all over the world : water from the sky ! But consequences are very different here or there!

    I like pictures of the nigth in towns.

  29. On my first visit to Japan, I was only in Tokyo for five days. I'm glad on my whirlwind second visit, I got to spend three days in Akita and three days in the Kyoto area. The big city is fun but there is so much beauty in other parts of Japan. I wish I could get back and spend a month traveling to the other islands as well.

  32. Beautiful reflection in photos and in words. It made me sad to think that people are at a loss, but then again several days of rain will do that. Hopefully the days will brighten.

  36. Hi! These photos are amazing. I loved that contrast between light and dark.

    It has rained a lot here, too. It is usual in April. Today, however, as the song goes, it's "a bright sun-shiny day". :)

  45. hello!i have a lidle poem for you and your perfect blog:

    Wonders on the walls.

    Too many wonders on the walls.
    Too many walls between countries.
    Too many colors in the snow.
    Too many countries in the world.
    Too many worlds between us
    Too many worlds in one world.
    Too much equality.
    Too many unions into one world.
    On one ground.
    Too much equality.
    Too many wars for beauty.
    Too many Sundays in a single year.
    Too much religion in the past and on television.
    Too much TV in my mind and in my dreams.
    Too many eyes closed in the world.
    Too many people-in dirt.
    Too much misery, McDonald's and solutions.
    Too many freedoms canceled.
    Billions of poets
    Billion hours.
    Time.
    And.
    Billions of casualties.
    We no longer want solutions.
    Equal- your meaning depends on your heart.
    At my feet ... the world and its miraculous snow
    became almost pink wonder.
