The day repeats

The mundane routine of life can hit hard real fast. Waking up in the same residence, walking the same street to the same office building (the secret is your job being your passion/hobby), rinse and repeat for the next rat race and then barely having any of those spoils for anything besides bills and other necessities. But it's only a sad existence if you decide it is.

Not too far from Yoyogi Crossing I got this street shot. Interestingly, this street changed quite a bit over the years, shots from 2021 and 2023 on this side of the train trestle look very different from this (for one, less signs on the right). The sunlight hit the street at a good spot, but as always, that stupid white sky plagued my very existence once again. Honestly, what do I gotta do to not have haze/overcast?

I guess I shouldn't complain cause I ended up being influenced by that to make this muted shot, because frankly, I had no clue what I could do to make this photo stand out otherwise. So I thought I'd pull a groundhog day and make it look like a time loop, albeit not a very happy one, in editing. Not a great reflection of Tokyo, but in my defense, not the best spot to show Tokyo's greatest strengths either. It's just a decent composition.
