Kobe is a port city with a very long and rich history, it very common to see strongly European inspired building like these around the city.

I had a great view over Himeji from the castle. I took this photo from the last floor of the castle, trough a window so small I had to remove my lens hood!
This is the Dotonbori canal, it also the name of the district where I took this picture. It is by far my favourite spot in Osaka! The food is delicious and cheap, many people is drinking Asahi in the street and the shops have the most original storefront in the world! Some of them are huge mechanized sign and other have neon lights that could be considered as art work!
Influenced by the positive feedback I got from the my “view from my roof” photos, I decided to bring my camera and tripod to the residential streets of Nakano, my neighborhood. There, I tried to capture the feel of Tokyo’s small streets. If you come from North America you would be inclined to think that they look more like alleyways rather than streets, but that’s what I love about them. Every house is unique, people leave their potted plants outside, their bicycles unlocked and they let their laundry hang out everywhere. Nowhere in the world have i ever even such respect for other people’s belongings.
