Still catching up on my #creative366project submissions; this was taken on Sunday, at the park where I (infrequently) practice taichi.

Depending on the day, there are usually a number of other groups exercising at the park, ranging from runners and boxers, to kendo, and other martial arts practitioners. It's always interesting to look around and see what others are doing, and on Sunday after my practice, I walked around the park to see what was happening.

The older fellow below shows up every now and then with the two younger men, and they seem to do something similar to kendo, mixed with some form of wrestling. This was one rather painful-looking (for the students) moment that I caught that day; I like how matter-of-fact the teacher is, while his students are caught in the arm/wrist-locks under him.

Apologies that the quality of this shot isn't that great… I ended up staying a bit late in the office last Friday, and still hadn't taken a photo by the end of the day. As I stepped out of the office, I looked out the windows near the elevators and saw the Tokyo Tower decked out in color!

I'm not sure what the occasion was, but I headed back to the office (I have a better angle from the windows there) and took a couple of shots.

When I got home I realized that there was some blur 🙁
I've tried to fix it a bit in PS, but am not too thrilled – hopefully I'll have another chance to shoot the Tokyo Tower in color in the future.

I don't usually try my hand at "abstract" type of shots, but the crisscrossing lines caused by the shadows against the lines of the building caught my eye and I couldn't help but try to capture them. The angle must be messing with me because though I can see that the 3 "hoods" on the bottom are in a line, the picture still looks slightly tilted..

Another reflection 🙂

The woman is actually the reflection of a picture on the opposite wall, and she's orange because of the tungsten lights highlighting that image behind me. Unfortunately I don't know what the kanji says, but I assume that it's perhaps related to whoever owns the building? (I believe that the date beneath it is when the building was constructed)

I've been a on a bit of a spree for reflective-type shots these past few days. Most of them aren't very good, but every now and then I get something I can live with.

This was in my office building, on my way out to lunch. At least this time the guard didn't notice me! (^^;

I was a bit "photoed-out" on Monday, having taken (and processed) so many pictures the weekend before, so I resorted to a sunset shot from my office window. (^^;

We've had great weather all week, but I woke up this weekend to gray skies and steady drizzle, which is too bad. I'd have preferred it the other way around, particularly since there's a G+ photowalk today!

It starts in an hour and a half, but anyone can drop in at any time if they wish – more details at the link below!
