Passing Train

I only had time for one train shot this time.

Taxi Stand

The famous taxi stand at Sendai Station. This time from the ground floor.

Omoshiroyama

This is the Sendai-bound train coming in to the station. I don't get to see trains as much as I would like.

Stop!

A Japanese stop sign.

Reflection

I don't know.

Oldie but Goodie

Here's a picture of the Senzan Line that runs through Sendai. I think I took this four or five years ago now.

Here It Comes

Waiting for the bus on a cold March morning.

Taxi Corral

The famous taxi line-up in front of Sendai Station.

Taxi Conga Line

The taxis line up in Ichibancho in front of Mitsukoshi department store.

Taxi Stand

That taxis at Sendai Station. I don't like this view with this lens.

Spiderweb

While waiting for the bus, I almost ran into this. No sign of the inhabitant who lives here.

JR Tokoku Honsen

From Wikipedia:

The Tōhoku Main Line (東北本線 Tōhoku-honsen?) is a 575.7 km long railway line in Japan operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Although officially the line starts from Tokyo Station in Chiyoda, Tokyo, most of the long-distance trains actually begin at Ueno Station in Taitō, Tokyo, and pass through such cities as Saitama, Utsunomiya, Fukushima, and Sendai, before reaching the end of the line in Morioka. The Tōhoku Main Line runs mostly parallel to the Tōhoku Shinkansen.

The 159.9 km long portion of the line between Ueno Station and Kuroiso Station in Nasushiobara, Tochigi is often referred to as the (JR) Utsunomiya Line. A portion of the Tōhoku Main Line is also shared with the Keihin-Tōhoku Line (29.6 km between Tokyo Station and Ōmiya Station in Ōmiya-ku, Saitama) and the Saikyō Line (18.0 km between Akabane Station in the Kita ward of Tokyo and Ōmiya Station).

It says it is often referred to as the Utsunoiya Line, but it is officially referred to that on all the signs and platforms in Ueno.

Shinkansen Tracks

I am always amazed at how the expressways and railways are build up on stilts in Japan.

Riding Home

Riding home after their Saturday lessons.

JR Tohoku Honsen

Sendai Station bound.

Postal Scooter

I couldn't resist taking a shot of this postal scooter I found while walking in downtown Sendai. I wish I had left a little more room at the bottom of the photo though.

Chains

They use chains here. I have a few theories on why they do, and it is probably a mix of them.

The Moped and the Umbrella

If you look up by the streetlight and the headlight you can see that it was snowing when this was shot. Perhaps a slower shutter speed would have better illustrated that.

Intersection

The intersection near my home.

Outlining

On the bus with nothing to do.
