Tokyo rainy season toil

Rainy season really doesn’t have much going for it: not only is it wet and dreary, but there’s the unwelcome return of some pretty horrible humidity too.

In fact the only thing worse than having to walk about in it, is working in it.

    I don’t really like rainy season as it’s wet and cold .
    When I was in Singapore, the weather is unpredictable.
    Whenever it’s raining, it make things worse.

      Yeah, I’m no fan either. The rain. Grey skies. Not much fun at all.

      Cheers! Yeah, poor fella. I wasn’t very happy merely walking about in it. He must have been really fed up being in and out of it all day.

    Very well seen, Lee. The guy with the underwhelmed facial expression pushing the goods along the wet pavement of the typical side alley really tells the story well. The contrasty b&w works well to enhance the mood.

    Well, unfortunately, there are a good number of people that have to sleep in it too.
    Great photo. What did you take this with?

      Cheers James. Yes, there are, especially in that area. A homeless fella walked past just after I took this photo actually.

      I used the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 to take this. Half covered by a crappy plastic umbrella!
