Photographs from a small group of islands
With June almost over, and weather apps now switching from umbrella marks to fiery red sun symbols, it would seem that Tokyo has turned the corner and left the horrible grey humidity of rainy season behind.

A different perspective, and also a different kind of picture compared to what I usually post.
