New Photo: Tokyo International Forum

Look at the size of this thing! It looks like a modern version of Hogwarts with its bridges and pathways. The Tokyo International Forum is well worth a visit if you are into photography – little tip: there are loads of reflecting surfaces in the forum, so check for unusual compositions.

New Photo: Shades of Venice

Venice is famous for its small streets, canals, gondolas, and apparently a very bad smell in the summer. The latter I have never experienced myself – but another aspect of Venice that I didn’t really realize the first time I was there – people watching!! This picture is taken from a cafe in the city center where I spent about 3 hours just observing (and taking pictures of) the hundreds of people that rush by. Toward the end, I noticed this little scene and thought it nicely combines the spirit of that visit – busyness, an architectural marvel, history, and a simple feeling of … cool! Make sure Venice is on your list!

New Photo: Brooklyn’s Gate

Here is another one from the Brooklyn Bridge – I got relatively lucky as there were not that many people around! The ropes are perfect to use a wide angle lens, so dont forget yours when you head over! PS: Yep, left the rubbish bin on purpose 😀
