Photos from my trip to Japan, part I of [---]
As you might remember, Mr. Mousie and I went to Japan in September. I posted write-ups (click on 'japan' tag). I also posted a few photos here. But I also took almost 900 photographs, so I think from now on, now that I got them burned on a disc, I am going to do a daily 'photos of Japan' post until I end up posting all of them. (As well as posts on England, Chicago, Spain, Florida, whatever trips at some point)
Let's say 20 per day? (Slightly less so if there are personal pics in the batch I ul as I am not posting those without a lock). There are people and streets and monuments and food and clothes. Some of these photos are good (if I say so myself), some mediocre, but hey...why not?
I started clicking as soon as we hit the Tokyo Metro. The first 20 photos are so aren't as interesting as later Tokyo and Kyoto shots (because metro and hotel areas aren't as interesting as where we went later) but IMO still fun.
Shinjuku metro station, which is the one we used when we stayed in Tokyo the first time (our hotel was a few blocks from there). I was fascinated by the crowds and the order and the size:
Streets on the way to the hotel (Hotel Washington, amusingly enough):
Building opposite hotel next morning:
And more surrounding streets on the way to the metro. It was really early in the morning on a weekend:
Stores and posters:
In the metro:
There was some promotion so the handles were replaced with ties:
Seriously, this is uncredibly clean:
One of my favorite pictures of the trip (made all the more awesome that in the car next to this hyper modern girl was a woman in her 30s-40s in a kimono):
"No groping" sign:
We went to see the Imperial Palace/Gardens or what you can see of it (not much) and this is the moat:
One of the entrances:
To be continued tomorrow (and clearly for months after :))
I might post all the pics with me in a separate, flocked bunch. Hmmm. Still considering. Also, get less blurry as I figure out how to have a 'moving' setting.
Also, should I shrink them so they'd be more compact or leave them this size for better detail?
