The alarm sounded quite early this morning as I wanted to arrive at Meiji Shrine before sunrise... My mini-tradition to visit the shrine, return my arrow from the previous year, take a few photos, and pick up a new arrow... Then a short walk to Shibuya wh...  

Thanks Nico...

and early morning it's not over crowded, but there are a few sleeping bodies on the trains ; ) The New Year period is very quiet in Tokyo and the air is incredibly clean... and very cold these last few days. Have a great start to 2019... Casey

is my favorite for obvious reasons . All of the detail shots, including various people are intimately observant. I also very much love the orange hue lantern in your first image! Thank you, this was the New Year's post I was waiting for. Cheers, Filip

You'll see the same photos next year as well ; )

I was looking for a coffee but alas it was too early for anything to be open and I wasn't interested in a 24 hour convenience store. Here is my 'normal street shot' from 1-Jan... it's always the same location with "Tower Records" on the left. Number 07 wa...

I am now more geographically aware of the location . The irony doesn't escape me that I happen to be sitting in a Japanese sushi bar on my dinner break right now, as I'm typing this! It's located on Ocean Park Ave in Santa Monica . I hope to be able to co...

A nice set from the first day of 2019. Great to see all the activity at the shrine. Have a happy and healthy New Year! Best fernando

fernando: It seems like more younger people at the shrine than in recent years...

and way less foreigners, maybe they're all skiing ; ). I have to get busy, as I only have one week before heading north and as always a ton of things to do... Casey

Great to see such nice pics of Tokyo again

I am not very much into people photography, but I do like what you took. GEO

I like the expressiong of the "grandmother" in the third photo...

I wish I could have gotten a single portrait of her. And the gentleman chimping & smiling with his Canon 5D (series?) + zoom lens... Early morning at the shrine... everyone was in a good mood ; ). On average I am more landscape than portraits... Thanks fo...
