Japan Images: Old Lady Resting

Japan Images: Old Lady Resting

I’m not sure what this lady was doing exactly but she walked along and then squatted down for about 10 minutes on the busy Jingu Bridge near Harajuku Station before moving on.

Resting? Heart palpitations? Or old lady weirdness perhaps?

Great black and white image. I guess she is just taking a bit of a rest :)

I wouldn't make fun of her, nice photo though, can't wait to experience Japan.

This is a beautiful and very poignant photo.
This lady is clearly tired.
The ball may be for a grandchild.
You might not be far off when you mention heart palpitations. Crouching in that position will help.
I don't find her weird at all, just sad.

Yes, all jokes aside, I think it was all fairly straight forward. My guess is she was simply tired and at her age she probably doesn't care what people think of her resting in the middle of a busy street. More power to her! ^_^

Just as long as it wasn't "taking a crap". Slightly incongruous (weird) photo... was that a volley/soccer ball in her shopping bag?

Could have been that too. Not sure of the type of ball - wasn't game to ask ^_^
