BG via my old (but once state of the art) Nikon D3. Shinjuku Gyoen. But the lenses—like me—still sexy.

#USPolitics, cuz US matters. Cubs fan. Acquired English at the requisite age in situ. French: acceptable, via Lisieux. Latin: better than yours? 😂

I ignore my own obv typos.

Just this:
This is the time of year, and the hour, where sunlight hits some of the smallest bits of land it ever does. Mostly Australia and the Antarctic. Most land is currently in shadow.

This morning in Tokyo. Everyone is fine, but the number of 4s evidence of a strong but brief shake.

4.8 in Tokyo Bay near Disneyland. 80 km down, so "shallow, not shallow".

Close to a driving range where I often practice. This is very near the Tama River, which separates Tokyo from Kanagawa, and which flows into Tokyo Bay. When walking along here and seeing these on telephone poles in quiet residential neighborhoods, I realize I might have only about 10 minutes or so to find higher ground if a really big one hits just offshore. Mostly two storey homes here are probably not high enough. 😲 My house (about 5 km away) would be safe from this.
Pretty nice view from my rooftop this Monday morning…
