Denton says
Nice timing. That’s me every time I’m shopping! 😉
Lee says
Cheers. Unless I’m shopping for gadgets, records or books I’m pretty much the same.
Greg says
I sure know that feeling…….
Lee says
Yes, it’s very easy to empathise, isn’t it?
Rob says
Perfect timing…
I’ve also gotta ask, “How much time do you spend in Ameyoko Street?”
Lee says
Cheers.
Haha, that’s a very fair question. Friends have a good chuckle at this too. It’s generally not “Where did you go?”, but, “Ueno again was it?”.
When it’s nice and sunny, there’s an hour or so of wonderful light shining right up Ameyoko. And the temptation to go and enjoy it is almost always too much.
So the answer is quite a lot!
Rob says
Thanks for your reply… 🙂
It’s definitely somewhere I want to revisit later in the year – this time with a different focus on the sort of photograph I want to take…
Lee says
You are welcome.
Definitely worth revisiting. Get there around 11-ish on a sunny day and you’ll have some lovely light to play with too.

He sure has a glum expression.
With the prefect dark under the cap and that expression I can’t help thinking of an off duty Judge Dread 🙂
Lee says
Yeah, I thought of that when I saw his expression and darkened features. Just a shame about the Mizuno cap…
