    Perfect title for this picture. What was he looking at?

      Cheers.

      That’s a good question. I couldn’t work it out. I couldn’t see anybody. Or anything for that matter. But he definitely seems to be on the look out for something, doesn’t he?

        Yes that he does. It makes this photo all the more mysterious. It may be a cliché but honestly 1000 words here! ^_^

          Thank you!

          Always pleased if a photo asks more questions than it answers.

    Very intriguing shot, I can only expect that Godzilla or the yakuza showed up pursuing the poor guy who was unfortunately blocked for too long on a crossing by the delayed train from Saitama and never got to save the world… 🙂

      I think everyone has their own favourite, but dung, dung, dung will always be good for me!

    He looks like he’s in a race , looking behind to see if his rivals are catching up 😉

      That’s spot on. The stress of waiting for a crossing that seems to be closed for an eternity as the pack closes in!

    If someone were teaching a fiction writing class, your entire blog would be an awesome collection of writing prompts.

    There are lots of crossings in Tôkyô, but this one in Shinagawa costs me nerves. The Title is perfect. Great Pics, Lee.
