    Good grief. Tatters indeed. The sign pole looks like it’s in a doorway — surely not. Rooting for Japan and a successful Olympics in 2021!

      Not in the best of shape, is it? Not the best of placed poles either! It is more at the side than right in the middle, so access wouldn’t have been hindered that much. But still, makes you wonder what they were thinking.

      The Games should definitely be something special after the extra long wait. Really wish they’d gone for an autumn date though instead. The chance was there to avoid the horrible summer heat, but alas it wasn’t taken…

    Lovely scene you’ve captured here. Almost as if he’s staring in disgust at the 2020 sign:)

      Cheers. Really like this old shop. So much character and decay. And yeah, he doesn’t look like an Olympic fan, does he?

      Thanks. Yeah, I couldn’t have directed him any better if I’d tried!
