I admit I take a lot of pics at supermarkets, too. Now, apart from the individual right to privacy (employees, customers), I always wondered whether capturing products is legal or not.

That question aside, if you can teach a sweet potato or head of cabbage to sign a model release form I'm pretty sure there would be good money to be made... ;P

First "pleasure ride" in a while. Rainy season on the Tamagawa.




Looks as if this rainy season has ended. Not good.

Yesterday's commute: a scorching day on the Sumidagawa (no edits, just resized the iPhone photos).

The building visible right behind Eitaibashi is IBM Japan's HQ.

Found this little fellow in the middle of the cycle path this morning. Where was he bound for?

I was looking thru some old SD cards--this is one I've always liked, probably posted here years ago (original is dated 2016).

Looking at the portions, I wondered if you went to Yoshinoya afterwards. The menu, however, looks plentiful.

Are those golden plates a Kanazawa thing?

Not sure about the plates, I didn't really notice. The tray that all the dishes were served on was certainly gold colored, but in looking, only one of the dishes seems gold. There are a couple flakes of gold leaf on the leaves in the first pic.

A few from this a.m.'s ride. There were some dahlia there, all past their prime--but more coming soon.

Splendid!

Here's something from my a.m. ride. This little fellow (tanuki pup) crossed right in front of my front wheel, looking lost, scared and lonely. No mom in sight. He eventually escaped into a neighbour's garden.

Someone who now uses a phone exclusively: (and it says iphone but I think it could be anything)

My SLR: Nikon 750 with two additional lenses: 3+ kilograms
