I completely forgot existence of this observation deck. It is several years since having come last. It was suggested that I photograph the Shinkansen here by a friend, but, in the case of my photography method, it is necessary for the Shinkansen to stop here for several seconds.

僕はここの存在をすっかり忘れていました。 訪れたのは数年ぶりです。 友人にここで新幹線の撮影を勧められたのですが、僕の撮影方法の場合、新幹線はここで数秒停止する必要があります。

Hey guys,
Taxi is coming to Collabor88 tomorrow. Not only it is a perfect match for the Paradisco booth, also at C88, but it's also a highly requested 'waiting for car / handbag holding / etc etc' inspired bento pose set :)
Set includes an optional taxi and phone (not required).
We hope you'll give it a try tomorrow!
See you at C88 :)
In countless big cities across the Galactic Federation, especially in hive-cities with complex system of highways and smaller roads, the problem of traffic congestion and a high number of accidents is especially acute. So in some those cities personal cars was replaced by an automatic taxi system. It is made up of millions of public cabs that do not require a driver to operate and can operate on dedicated traffic lines as well as on numerous small branches off major highways.
These electric vehicles do not have a rear or front and move in both directions equally quickly, which greatly simplifies city traffic and does not waste time on turning. Also, the salon is pressurized and even has life support systems, thanks to which these cabs can be used in cities with the most unfavorable ecology or on the surface of planets where there is no breathable atmosphere. Due to the fact that all cabs are controlled by automatics and connected to a single network, the accident rate of this type of transport is minimized.
P.S. Only after hour long rendering I noticed that cars "levitating" above the ground. And I'm too lazy to re-render it. :P
Horse-drawn for-hire hackney carriage services began operating in both Paris and London in the early 17th century. The first documented public hackney coach service for hire was in London in 1605. In 1625 carriages were made available for hire from innkeepers in London and the first taxi rank appeared on the Strand outside the Maypole Inn in 1636.
Before you take the 800 ancient stairs to reach from one side of Petra to the other, you'll be approached by many Bedouins, asking "taxi?". First, you'll look around wondering where they've managed to park the car, and then you'll understand that by "taxi", they mean "do you want to take a ride on a donkey, instead of walking/sweating for an hour in the sun?". This girl was one of the Bedouins offering donkey rides to the tourists, who weren't quite sure they were fit for 800 steps up in +35C. We preferred to walk. But first, I asked if I could take her photo.
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!

A photo of Doll × Tilt-Shift photography using my PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED lens.
The main purpose of this photo is for a experiment to show how a PC lens performs in a street view to get a real human ratio photo for a doll. The result is quite exhilarating...
