More New Year shots

I think I've taken more shots of the New Year activities at Meiji Jingu shrine this year than in all my previous years in Japan – and there are even more to come when I've had time to go through 'em all!

I've really enjoyed it though – I think it is the first time I've really observed people, and even though I can't give a name to everything they're doing, it's been peaceful in a way that I can't quite describe.

Still, I hope that these pictures give some of you (particularly those who haven't been to Japan before) a glimpse of the culture here. 🙂

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I (or some of my fellow Gplussers) will try to answer!

EDIT: Just noticed that for some reason the images are not in order… if you click on the primary image and try to go to the next image, it will just take you to the top of the album, so you need to go all the way to the end… weird 🙁
