We went there this summer. Fun and interesting!

Holiday hanabi at the beach now. We can ~just~ see some of it from our balcony.

Later, the clouds let the sun wink through with a burst of red just above the horizon.
Orange sunset sky above deep grey clouds, with a glimpse of the sun as a red half-circle near the horizon.

Layers of lovely colors!
I was thinking of you earlier while we were walking at the beach.
Layers of clouds above an orange sky. Tokyo SkyTree is visible in the center distance. Tokyo’s skyline is silhouetted to the left. Tokyo Bay is in the foreground.

#NoTyrants rally in Shinjuku, Tokyo just now.
This Portland protest-style inflatable frog held signs telling the wannabe king, “You’re fired!” Organizers led chants during our sidewalk rally. Tourists participated, speaking out on behalf of public education. My poster says NO to tyrants, despots, dictators, and fascists.

Here are a few more. #MorganMotorCompany #Moggie #MorganSportsCarClubJapan
My favorite is this Morgan 4/4 convertible in British Racing Green with a 2-tyre compartment on the rear. Its front wheels are suspended independently from the chassis in “sliding pillar” system. Bright yellow Stanguellini single-seater race car with dark blue accents resembles a large insect. Its smiling male driver holds a wrapped bouquet after passing through the Arrivo Gate (finish line) on Valentine Way. This classic Morgan’s interior is trimmed in tan leather, a smooth wooden dashboard frame, and a 4-spoke chrome fitted steering wheel. There are 2 black bucket seats and a stick shift on the floor.

I found light yellow ones today in front of the bicycle shop! First time seeing this color.

La Festa Autonno this afternoon in Makuhari Baytown. Italy-Japan Friendship Society event. #LaFestaMilleMiliga #LaFestaAutonno #MakuhariBaytown #ClassicCars
Two rows of 20th century cars lined up along the Baytown Promenade. Dozens of people gathered along the barricades watch as driving team members mingle among the vehicles. Bright red vintage Jaguar with chrome trim and a brown leather bonnet strap. Sometimes you gotta ask your friends for a push to get started. Bright red classic Alfa Romeo convertible with chrome trim being pushed by three men. Two men are in the car.
