Panels on the Ground

Aoba Street is all torn up because of the construction of the new subway line.

The Tozai Line will open in 2015.

Congratulations Rakuten

The Rakuten Golden Eagles started the season in 2005 and have pretty much been in the bottom of the barrel since then. This year though, they won their league and are in the Japan Series.

Apparently there are many golden eagles up here in Japan, but I haven't yet seen one to my knowledge.

Night Alley

I had brought my camera downtown to test its ISO capabilities. Here I was focusing on the man in the white shirt at 6400.

Outside Bar

With the weather getting chillier, outside restaurants have to come up with ideas to make the customers feel comfortable.

Ginza

From the Hip

This was shot from the hip walking downtown one night.

Sendai Ginza

Yes, there is an area called Ginza in Sendai too. (I have seen the name in several areas.)

This Ginza is a small drinking/eating alley with several small, interesting shops.
