Pollution on a Quiet Street


Tokyo Tower seems to be a popular spot for people to go to.
Must admit, that all my years in Tokyo, I've never seen the fascination with such an eyesore as that.
Until today.
Well, tell a lie, I wasn't there to see that. I actually popped down to see Shiba Koen (park).
Now, I've been patiently waiting for the maples of Tokyo to turn their familiar red, but they're intent to keep me waiting.
I read on the internet that the maples in Shiba Koen were changing colour, so off I went.
A long train/subway ride.
Leaves are still green.
Park was tiny and, to be honest, unimpressive.
Still, it was a nice day.
There was a chance to shoot Tokyo Tower...I pondered it for about 5 seconds, and no.

I did, however, see some mighty fine air pollution as the sun beamed from in-between some trees and on to the road. You could literally cut the haze with a katana.
It was either that street shot or Tokyo Tower...
I stand by my decision.
