Tokyo

Taking pictures in the streets of Tokyo is like taking coal to Newcastle.
I took the train from Tokyo to Kyoto. The ceremony of cleaning each train before the next trip was amazing: ladies in uniform would arrive in an athletic cadence, line up exactly at their spots next to each coach, and wait for the whistle from their coordinator. When the train arrives and passengers have exited they will rush in, clean and be out with the next whistle. The train is now ready and spotless!
The second picture shows the sweeps of the volunteer elderly who keep their city clean and manicured. I could not resist to think that this was the "Witches' Landing"... A bit of Western imagery cannot hurt.
Both taken with a Canon rangefinder Model L3 and Jupiter-12 lens.
