Totally. I think when I go to Japan I'll take some graffiti pics. I took loads when I went to Europe and when I spent a summer in Italy.

One of my favorite pics from my trip:

Roppongi gets early start to Christmas season with dazzling tree lights

[image]


People walk underneath the illuminated trees in Roppongi Hills on Thursday.Tokyo's Roppongi Hills has got an early start to the Christmas season with the installation of hundreds of thousands of decorative lights along an avenue in the area.

About 420,000 Christmas lights were placed on the trees lining Keyakizaka-dori Avenue on Thursday. The sparkling decorations were designed to evoke the image of a snowy tree-lined street.

Illumination of the trees along the avenue began in 2003, with the aim of livening up the Christmas shopping season. This year light-emitting diode (LED) lights were used, providing dazzling brilliance that had not been seen in earlier years, as well as a reduced power consumption.

The decorative lights will be on display until Christmas Day
