Japan Haiku number 1. Ginza, Tokyo

Cormorant rode the
Water with a burst of wing
And was lost in light 

The return of a Haiku a day. I'm in Japan at the moment, this is my first day here. A brief sight of a cormorant sitting in the water flapping its wings, whilst I was on the train, then it was gone. The gardens I passed on the journey looked meticulous, beautiful in fact. But the city itself is really confusing for the uninitiated. You need to understand using all three dimensions. You could shoot past a place because it's not on street level ... It's either high up or in a basement!
The photo is therefore not of the elusive cormorant I saw, but rather a street in Ginza. That's the light referenced. Slightly edgy, full of cheap eats and bars.

Sleeping cormorants

fairy lights on the far bank

Orion’s display

I was out in London, the moon and lights on the South Bank shone over the Thames. And when I got home, Orion distinctively shone out of the dark sky.
