Japan Photos 2022

@thomas Gosh, I didn't know you were a stock broker. Looks like a nice place to work.
 
So beautiful, I want to travel around the world, especially to Japan.
 
Both pictures below were taken with the iPhone 13 (unedited, just resized).

Ume blooming in our neighbourhood:



Not really happy with the iPhone's "tele" lens: Globemaster landing in Yokota this morning.

 
@thomas the nice thing about those wonderful blue skies is that it doesn't matter if they are in focus or not!

In other news, I've joined a photo club here--I've been to see members' pics at local shows, only ¥3000 so we'll see. The lectures may be good, but I'll pass on the photo queens. (edit: that's not clear--the shows were free, membership for a year, which includes the seminars and some other things, is 3000 yen.)

I wonder if it's okay to take a bike up and down the elevators in those buildings?

I used to do that at work so I could park in my office, but only at 'off' times.
 
My in-laws live in a comparable "condo" in Yokohama. In many of those places, as expensive as they are, you are not even allowed to walk your dog from the entrance to the elevator or from the elevator to your flat.
 
@thomas Re: the tele shot above--just in case, insure that portrait mode is off. (looks like it may have been on for the sakura shot?)
 
@johnnyG, very likely, as I did take a portrait shot (below). Bicycle gloves and all.

 
First, one for Ukraine, their national flower:



I was reading earlier that Ukrainians were keeping sunflower seeds in their pockets, so if they fell in battle, the seeds would use the body as fertilizer and grow. (And that they were giving seeds to russians, and then telling them that's why they had given them the seeds.)


Also, I went back and re-took this, trying to get the lines and angles square and centered, and some other things. Always some tweaks, but this is still fairly close to what you'd see.

 
A few shots from earlier today:

A dusty-rusty beauty in a Yokohama garage (MG C-series B-series, as pointed out below):



Nissan driving test centre near their Oppama plant in Yokosuka:



And the first sakura (at Kanazawahakkei Seto-jinja):



 
I miss seeing the Sakura.
 
I have a cherry tree on my front lawn that gets tons of berries that the birds love to eat in the winter. Unfortunately for my neighbor , the birds sit in his maple tree and crap cherry droppings all over his car. At times , it's more red than blue.

This is an MGB. Probably mid-1960s. Definitely prior to 1970. C-series are very easy to differentiate because the hood isn't smooth all across like this.

Thanks, @mdchachi! Though I'm an avid fan of the 'Car SOS' series (aired here in Japan), I'm not knowledgeable. This beauty yesterday, however, really stuck out.
 
In the 70's the military had a program where you could buy cars at a good price and ship them where you wanted. All the Navy guys including me drooled over the Datsun 240Z. Having one now in mint condition , they go for over $300,000US. Wish I had bought one then.
