Biker cat

I know I posted this one to the #GPlus2YearAnniversary  group album before, but I wanted this in my own album as well since I rather liked it.  Plus, I was taking care of 4 cats this weekend, so it seemed fitting.

This weekend went by too fast… Monday again, and time to head off to work.. (T_T)

Ducks in a Row

Not sure how well this photo works.  I feel that there's a lot of distraction from too many elements in the image.. but I went ahead and processed/uploaded because I liked the ducks.  😛

And yes, it's another from the #Gplus2YearAnniversary  photowalk!

So, time to go off to work, have you made sure you've got all your ducks in a row for today?  😉

Jinrikisha

Yes, another one from the #GPlus2YearAnniversary  photowalk.  Almost finished going through them though.  (^^;

I've seen these "jinrikisha" around the Asakusa area, but though it looks like fun, I've never tried it riding in one myself.  I know it's odd because it's their job, but I would always feel sorry for someone who had to pull me around!
That, and it's a little expensive… 

Off to bed, good night from Tokyo!

Afternoon constitutional

Yet another one from the #GPlus2YearAnniversary  photowalk.  (I must say I got quite a few shots I liked on that day!)

This was taken just outside of Yanaka cemetery.  It's a great place to walk around and get people shots; I took another photo around this area during the sakura season that I really liked as well, and the whole area seems to have a temple or shrine on almost every corner.

It's a 3 day weekend, yay!  But I work on Monday still… (>_<).  But hopefully only a half day, so it's still a 2-and-a-half-day weekend 😉

Goodnight from Tokyo!

Trying for an old-timey feel

Another shot from the #GPlus2YearAnniversary  photowalk, this was taken at Nezu shrine.

Stood at this point for quite a while, waiting for the people to go away, and the fish to swim into view (most of them were huddled in the shadows).

Still, due to the time of day (around 4PM), the light was pretty harsh, and the image felt pretty "flat", so I messed around with the film filters in Color Efex Pro to try and make things pop a little.  I don't usually do that, but it's fun to do on occasion.  Couldn't do much about the blown out sky though 🙁

Off to work, it's Friday!

Coming in for a landing

Just another quick one from the #GPlus2YearAnniversary  photowalk.  Posting stuff that I don't have to do much editing with, this was a spur of the moment shot when I saw some pigeons coming in to land above our heads.

Now, to bed!  

Goodnight from Tokyo!

Nevermore

Another shot taken from the #GPlusPhotowalkJapan  / #GPlus2YearAnniversary  photowalk a couple weeks back.

We couldn't have asked for a better day weather-wise for Google's 2 year anniversary photowalk.  More to come, as I get the time to upload…

Title idea courtesy +Tim Buerger 😉

Happy Monday, time to get ready for work!
