First picture from Japan!
This is the cityscapse of Yokohama, which is the second most populated city in Japan after Tokyo.
I went there around 5pm in order to take some pictures of the sunset.
And I can tell you that this one was tough to take! I tried almost five differents buildings before finding the right spot. And the right spot was in the 26th floor of an office building.
I just chilled there for almost an hour, waiting for the sun to go down, collecting curious gaze from office workers.
The sunset was wonderful and I took many photographs, using the well known sweater trick to avoid reflections on the huge windows.
After almost two hours inside, just when I was packing my stuff, a guard came to me and gently escorted me out.
In the elevator going down I was a bit worry where he would lead me, but the guy just show me the way out saying in a really bad english "you can be here not up".

Was wrapping up some shopping with Austin in Yokohama, and as we came out of the store's 3rd floor open parklot, was greeted to a rare unobstructed view of the sunset with nice colors to boot!

In the district that Yokohama inhabitants call "Yokohama Ginza" the main street is often closed for cars. In such cases nice ladies dressed in elegant red coats with black collars and cuffs stand on crossings of the main street and side streets where car traffic is allowed and control cars and pedestrians traffic for the sake of everyone's safety.
And it is not just safe. It is also very beautiful.
Here's a shot from my trip to Japan in 2002 that I overlooked when I first posted a few of them back in 2008...and when I posted a few more last year. I guess the more years pass between the trip and now, the more I lower my standards to include more pictures that I may not have considered good enough previously, because with more passing time comes more sentimentality.
It's kind of amazing how I'm able to pinpoint exactly where I was when I took this picture, even though it was almost 19 years ago now.
I took this pic with my Kodak Advantix T500 camera on APS film.

Yokohama was in the headline for many weeks because of coronavirus and the passengers who got stuck in the cruise ships. I had a chance to visit the cruise terminal before the outbreak happened.
It was indeed a great place to look at the cityscape of Yokohama. On the other side, you could see that famous Yokohama Bay Bridge. Browsing through these photos make me feel so lucky that I was able to visit Tokyo before all these happened. If that was the case, my trip would be cancelled for sure. Stay Safe everyone :)
