It's so humid even the trees appear to rust

I am always appreciative of trees being left alone in construction sites, or even in completed areas. This seems to happen more in Japan than back home in the UK. On a few occasions, I've seen walls, fences, and even roofs, with holes or recesses where an old tree's been left to its own devices. This particular tree caught my eye as it seems to have sympathy for the metal fence in the foreground, mimicking rust on its bark.

The other side of Shibuya

Shibuya is a multi-layered behemoth of a district. There are roads above train lines above roads above tunnels. I wanted a photo showing another layer, the other side of Shibuya.

Shibuya can be somewhat glamorous, with expensive shops and department stores, but is typically associated as being a teenage or youth district, with the famous 109 building in its centre. The kids dress funky, and the place never seems to be quiet. Though it's still a relatively clean place (though probably dirty by Tokyo standards), there are thousands of stickers to be found, if you look close enough. 

Constructive boredom

There's an awful lot of building work going on at the moment. So much so, that I am not sure if the cicadas or builders are making more noise. Under such conditions it's hard to have a moment's peace, though this construction worker's managed it. 

Rusty Pipe

I'm still getting used to my new camera, so it's just as well that the weather is terrible at the moment, otherwise I'd be in danger of letting technology get in the way of art. This rusty pipe caught my eye when I left the office tonight. It was essentially twilight, but the low light was no match for the fast lens and high ISO of the RX1.
