Casey and Jazz
These two have always been best of friends, and now it was time for one more romp at a local playground. Casey went back to San Diego the following day.

Scraping the Sky in Tokyo
This is the area called Shinjuku. We were looking for the Tokyo City Municipal building and walked through this grand passage of skyscapers. Casey and I took some pictures, purposely left "bent" by the wide-angle 12-24 lens.

Kaminari Mon
Literally, Gate of Thunder and Lightning. I would prefer another title, like Thunder Gate, but no one asked me! Actually, I am not sure what the "official" english translation is, kaminari means "thunder and lightning".
The structure is magnificent and this was my second time to visit, having come here many years ago. It seems there were as many or more foreigners passing through on this day (1/8/08) than Japanese.

Tokyo Sprawl from Roppongi Hills
Took a 3-day vacation with my wife and second son, went up to the top of the Roppongi Hills building and shot through the observatory glass, what included a very dirty sky. Kinda liked the "bending" effect of the Tokina 12-24 here...
Gripped,

A New Year in Japan
I have got to be more faithful to this blog!
And like the Japanese, I have recently been visiting Shinto Shrines on January 1st. Of course, I don't go to seek the favor of the god the shrines claim to host, I go for pictures. Oh, and I do pray while I am there, for those who have come to pray will someday, somehow, meet the One who actually hears and can answer.

Every year, our routine is about the same for New Years' Eve and New Years' Day, too. Because I am married to a Japanese woman, and have lived here for some time, I spend New Years' Eve and Day like most Japanese do, watching TV, and eating and drinking much more than I should.
