Suddenly it’s incredibly hot with humidity up to the max, suggesting that summer, in all its sizzling and sweaty glory, is now in situ. And with setsuden (or saving electricity) the region’s new mantra, to say it’s going to be uncomfortable is akin to saying that Tokyo is a tad busy.
But it’s not bad news for everyone. Far from it in fact. Because for some, setsuden is an irrelevance, as summer means only one thing: sunbathing.

Love the geometrical layout.

That’s what struck me. Why they all chose the right bench I really don’t know.
winnie says
Don’t they feel even hotter?Maybe the nature surrounding can calm down a bit?
It was a interesting and nice shot!! 🙂
Lee says
Thanks Winnie. They must have felt hotter. I cycled past which was probably just as stupid, and the surroundings were definitely not making it any cooler…

Thank goodness I’m not in Tokyo this year, the setsuden would kill me.
Lee says
Yeah, it’s not nice, that’s for sure…
