Japan Images: Saturday on Takeshita

A typical Saturday morning along the insanely crowded Takeshita-dori (竹下通り) in Harajuku, Tokyo.

It was a busy Sunday afternoon on Jingu Bridge in Harajuku, Tokyo. This girl kept herself fairly separate from the others and spent a countless amount of time carefully preening every inch of herself. She looked stunning with the ginger hair against her fair complexion.

Another shot from my Harajuku gallery but this time a little darker than most. The overcast day also helped to add an eerie atmosphere to this image – one of my favourites. Enjoy ^_^

Somethings are worth doing again, and again. Nice photo... I can just imagine a whole flock of cameramen atop shoulders struggling in the tidal flow of people - each trying to find that tasty photo.
