Night, window and flowers.

I can't figure out if those are real or fake.

Two business men walk towards the camera. Both walking in the same direction, much like the monotonous everyday life. Cookie cut lifestyle... if you know what I'm talking about. The one in white shirt looks tired with drooped shoulders. Maybe from all the stresses of life, family, kids, etc. On the other hand, the one in black suit walks with somewhat stronger and livelier gait. The support for the structure above hides his face and leaves us with a bit of mystery.

Tsutenkaku tower in Osaka. I think it's almost a parody, Eiffel tower and Arc de triomphe de l'Etoile put together. This cheesiness portrays the cheesiness of the entire city of Osaka. It's a city full of character, much more so than many other cities in Japan.

The area is very lively during the day, but it dies down at night. This shot taken through a bicycle frame darkens the picture, making the brightly lit tower stand lonely in the night.

Row of bikes

I took this photo in Kyoto. Walked around Arashiyama area and stumbled across this. This is a row of red rental city bikes. Some people were staring at me like I was weird taking a picture of this, but that's nothing new with me.
