In addition to regular posts, for the summer, I’m going to try something different and do some bite-sized entries like this, where it’s just a single photo taken in the last 48 hours, along with a short write-up that doesn’t go beyond the home page. (So, you won’t have to click “Read More” and hit the jump to anything.)
This picture is from yesterday evening, outside Yurakucho Station in Central Tokyo. It’s not even June yet, but it feels like the rainy season (tsuyu) has already started, with hydrangeas coming out to bloom and the weather forecast showing almost straight rain and clouds for the next ten days. We were on our way back to Tokyo Station from Toho Cinemas Hibiya, where we went to see a matinee movie. It was a few minutes after sunset, and the juxtaposition of city lights with a rain-slick road and elevated train station during the magic hour gave the walk a romantic feel.
