Some beautiful portraits in Akiba...

Last Friday... I visited the Akiba again...

Akiba always and mysteriously attracts me...so much...

Despite the domination by some animated cultures

and "Moe" movements there...there are still lots of

shops for "geeks" who loves the electrical gadgets...

Therefore, that's why I still wanna go to this....

eccentric but culturally enchanting area...

Oh, sorry for long "preface" for....hahaha

This...on the first pic...was the ulterior...street with some 

retrospective places and scenes....that's rare in Japan.

With the bicycles in line and safer small walls for construction

or renovation...this allay was very quiet...without anyone.

Some people think that's so "lone"....but for me, it's very

attractive...with some Japanese vernacular emotion as

"Wabi"....the traditional idea of Japanese who loves the 

isolated, intact and naturally beautiful one....

Just walking to the riverside....the river leading

to the Tokyo bay area and near the Akiba had

the deep blue....in the contrast of cerulean sky. 

Someday, Kitano mentioned the "blue" in Tokyo...

which was from those "riverside" one or sometimes

the "roof" with blue...that appeared especially in the

morning sunshine...unfortunately, this blue was same

nor similar to the Kitano's....but very mysterious and

beautiful for me...to "snip" the pics....

Tokyo is one of the busiest city in the Japan...

but some areas are nearly abandoned...

This is the pic of some "forgotten" street...

near the railways...yes, some places are 

under the by-passes of those...supposedly this 

used to be the busy, sometimes noisy area

with markets, pubs and food stalls...but currently 

very, and completely quiet...

People no longer lived in or used those...places.

On the counter side of this allay, some offices 

are still existed...and there are some people to be

seen from them....but, that's the true for "quietness"..

I hope for this area "not" to be "quietus"...and revive. 

After the long time walks, I finally came back to 

this....bridge across the this deep blue aquatic street...

with the warm and "winsome" sunset....

Some people also took some pics in this area....

supposedly to retain this amicable moment from sun...

I was so satisfied and happy to see those new scenes 

in and near Akihabara...by walking slowly and tastefully...

Of course, I also found some very interesting and innervating

shops and things there!! Next time, I am going to introduce 

them for you guys!!
