Random Alley Scene
Osaka, Japan
04-16-24
I am always delighted with the attention to detail in some anime films (like those of Miyazaka and Gibli Studios) where the street scenes are amazingly detailed, and show some scenes which are only attributable to Japan.
While wandering about, I took some photos in out of the way places, which don't show shrines or tall buildings, or tourist attractions, but just normal scenes like this one.
I love the horizontal stoplight, the ubiquitous drink vending machine, the rusted metal walls and the electrical wires, which in some areas are even more spiderweblike than in this photo.
The building might be a repair shop for tiny Japanese cars. But it's really just part of a paid parking area. Those spaces on the right are paid parking and the "P In" sign is for a parking area.
(In some congested city areas the parking stalls are stacked on top of one another in buildings.)
This isn't a photo of an amazing scene, but a rather mundane yet still fascinating one, and that's what the best of photography can do for the viewer.
