Tokyo

Those are some of the pictures I took earlier this year and I thought of posting them as my first attempt to build a blog :P
Some would find that those pictures are quite "dark"..Which is true, I sort of enjoy taking pictures at night..That's where the contrasts are sometimes most striking. The first one is in Shibuya, in one of those small streets next to the railway. This one is particular in a sense that its full of 4 to 5 seats restaurants. I will take a picture of those to show you one day. A Lilliputian world somehow..



This picture was taken in Omotesando, in one of the streets behind the main Avenue. A hair dresser, 2 storeys, 2 worlds..


This was taken at Meiji-Jingu Park, one of the most beautiful park in Tokyo (Harajuku). This is one part of the Meiji-Jingu Shrine.




Those kindof "boxes" are actually Sake containers. And given as a gift by various famous companies across Japan.


I took those 2 pictures in a small restaurant on Omotesando. Nothing so special about them except the amazing light that was spreading through the room that day. It was inspiring.



Finally, for my first try, a picture taken at Nishi-Azabu crossing at night again right in front of Gonpachi where I was having dinner with my parents. Its also one of the first pictures I took with my camera..Still trying to control it !!




Do I like red ?;)

Cars, cars and cars..Ok, I won't comment on the first two ones. BUT..Let's say this pretty black horse is an amazing toy which I never get tired of..

Just had fun doing this in Tokyo...once ;)






I will post some other pictures of that day. Being very much into the car "thing" these days, I decided to take a look along with some friends at what was happening on this famous Ebina Carpark on Sunday morning. We reached there at around 7 am in the morning on a Sunday (call me maniac, I wouldn't do that often) and shortly after our arrival, I stared looking at the entrance of the Carpark, from Tomei Express highway.. Needless to say that when you see 6 or 7 Ferraris arriving at the same time on an highway carpark, there must be something wrong. And it continued, continued for an hour..Eventually, around 100 of them were parked there, next to their happy owner displaying their trophy proudly..Having people listened to the engine of the beasts.
Well, yes it was probably the Ferrari club gathering on a Sunday morning. But, honestly, in which country in the world can you see so many 100,000 dollars cars at the same time ? Well, if not a country, a city probably and that shall be Tokyo. Drive around here, and owning a Porsche will make you feel you are just like anyone else. Its common..
