Chester & Greta


We've only been into Tokyo three times now and all those times were to explore. We've yet to mount a photography safari there. But we will soon. Here's some snapshots we took on our second trip. Enjoy ...



This is just a quick snapshot of an intersection in Shibuya. This particular day wasn't really all that crowded. It was during Golden Week when most people that can get out of town.



That morning we visited a Peony exhibit in Ueno Park. Unlike in the US where you would probably see beds full of peonies all crammed in together, this exhibit was much more artistically done. Each plant only had a few flowers on it and each was displayed alone. Each plant was shaded by a waxed paper umbrella.



Harajuku is a neighborhood in Tokyo where the young people hang out. In particular they shop along Omatosando Boulevard, Takeshita Dori and Spain Dori. This photo is of Spain Dori ... a winding pedestrian way filled with clothing shops.
