Hi Chris.

I like the contrast of the modern building with that building built in the "old style".

Well done!

Hi Chris,
by the angle and harsh light an interesting view on a traffic junction. The depth is double built by the leaving road and the parallel line of houses in then background. Pleasant change of green and buildings with good differences in height and architecture. The impression of the colour tones is a bit cold, could be real by the light.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Chris,

I notice the interesting mix of new and old elements in the architecture!
Good point of view gives crossing diagonal in the composition, and the fine light renders vivid colours....

Greetings,

Hi Chris,

High PoV! Did you take it from a pedestrian crossing bridge?

The sharpness is nice and the action of the cars turning into the streets is very nicely captured.

Hi Chris,

Good presentation of this example of modern architecture with a partly traditional styling.
To be honest, not very successful in my Point Of View. But nevertheless with a perfect POV of your side.

hi Chris

Simple as a street corner but showing a clean environment and Korean architecture amidst the modern side of Japan. Funny isnt it? Despite being so westernized, Japanese traffic still follows the right-hand drive.

Although I had only visited Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Japan has always left a good impression of a beautiful country for photography, being so many islands of mountains and volcanoes yet with lovely vegetation, plants and flowers.

tfs, bill

batalay (20858) 2008-10-13 2:55

Hello Chris,

It is always satisfying to see a structure — whether the corner of a building, or the corner of a block — with two orthogonal sides, in a demonstration of two-point perspective. This shot of course achieves that, but also reminds me that in Japan they do drive on the left side.

Warm regards and have a good week,

Bulent

Hi Chris, Good to see the clear skies of Japan, i'm in Jakarta at present. Warm people here, but the air is mostly not so clear. Well composed photo without numerous wires which can distract from so many street scenes. Blue skies look very good indeed. TFS. Murray.

I have been missing some of your latest posting but I would like to comment on this one. It looks like a nice consular building with that interesting mixture of traditional and modern architecture. However it seams that you have given a bit too much importance to the traffic intersection rather than the scene behind it. I would have cropped the bottom quarter, just below the turning truck.
