Japan Photos 2026

I think winter wheat, which may be harvested real soon. The rain had knocked it down in some places and that grabbed my attention initially. But then when I stopped and started looking other parts/aspects were mesmerizing. That was this morning and as I looked at the shots over lunch I almost jumped in the car again to go back. Moisture conditions seemed perfect. Not drone shots, I'm just standing by the fields.

One more in 16:9.

Looking at their website, I remembered having dinner at Caretta more than 20 years ago! We were all trainees, and one of us, a Turkish vegetarian, had trouble finding anything nutritious to eat. While we were indulging in all sorts of exquisite delicacies, we felt very sorry for him as he nibbled on lettuce salad. He lost a lot of weight during the six months he spent in Tokyo. Things have certainly changed since then.

The night view was spectacular!
 
Sunshine over the wheat today, and several machines in the area harvesting it--another day or so and it'll be gone.







And in the middle of one field a guy was working just outside it, but he had a great little shop in what seemed to be either a small shipping container, or something salvaged off the back of a truck.





 
You mean a work shop? Didn't seem to be selling anything. Love the angle on those wheat pics.
Yes, workshop (tool shed). When I stopped he was using a small electric grinder on a rock outside--I neglected to look if there was a power drop to this shed/shop (or was it a generator?). I should have gotten a shot of the outside/setting, there was some area around it that he was maintaining and taking care of.
 
@イェンス and I met up last Wednesday. He's in the first pic.

Just a few regular tourist shots from Asakusa, which was as crowded as I've ever seen it before, apart from Sanja Matsuri, to which @mdchachi can attest. Seemingly millions of young American and European tourists, tattooed from head to toe and dressed in rental yukata.
