Beautiful Japan
Some sights in Tokyo are so beautiful that it is virtually impossible to take a bad picture of like for instance Tokyo Tower at night when it is lit up.

Only the main roads and streets are THAT bright. The other streets are kind of dark actually. But Japan is one of the safest places so no need to worry.

This pic is so aesthetically pleasing! Especially with the sun rays beaming through.
Again, this is one of those places where it is virtually impossible to take a bad photograph since it is so beautiful, but I agree, the sun rays make it even more so.

I love how the old folks know how to enjoy conversation. While the younger ones just stare at their phones.

It's not. It's crippling gambling addiction.

Growing up in Alaska was the most wonderful experience for me. The countryside was fantastic, and so easy to get away from everything. One of the first books I remember reading for school was "Daniel Boon - Master of the Wilderness". I fell in love with his story and nature. He's always been my Hero. And to this day, I just cannot imagine myself having to live my life, cooped up like those living in places like Tokyo, New Yawk, or Hong Kong. :D
Being boxed in by tall buildings is torture for me, I grew up in the wide open spaces of the great plains. I get antsy when I can't see the horizon!

I was expecting tradition merging with modernism, but this is just traditional and modernism in individual, separate photos.
