Below the Clouds


The clouds were all fluffy above Shinjuku.

And I was melting on one of the streets below it today. Although this is what I was expecting...it still hits me as a shock how hot and humid a place can become.

I hope you are all having a wonderful Friday and have a nice and cool weekend scheduled ahead!

Enjoy looking at more beautiful skies all around the world here.

  1. Fabulous skyline. Those clouds look so harmless, yet they don't shied the relentless summer sun, do they? Have a restful weekend, Kaori!

  3. Lol, we have more or less an autumn weekend ahead! Still, I don't like humid and muggy at all so though this photo is fantastic, I'll keep my cooler autumn weather!

  4. Beautiful view.

    I am still on virtual vacation – a sabbatical of sorts but love to pop in on people. To me it is something like opening the door on the outhouse...

    You are always in for a big surprise!

  6. August on the streets of Tokyo: Like being engulfed in atomized molten lava (to use your so appropriate image). While waiting for the light to change at crosswalks I would turn sideways and stretch as thin as I could while trying to utilize as much meager shade as possible from the narrow traffic-signal pole before third degree burns charred my skin away smoking, and my clothes burst into flames.

    Here it is August where I live now and, even though I bought a kind of towelket in late spring, I still have to sleep covered in a quilt. The nights are around 15º C. Pure heaven.

    Nice view in the foreground of the Central Residence Shinjuku City Tower and Ikebukuro’s Sunshine 60 in the background. They say the area around Sunshine 60 is haunted. Maybe they could turn the air conditioning down and people would still get goose bumps.

  8. Nice photo!
    It is melting hot in Osaka too. I am hoping for a storm to cool things down!

  11. I didn't make this SWF, Kaori, but I'm not needed with a wonderful one like yours! Did you take this photo from a tightrope?!

  15. Population of the Greater Tokyo Area: More than thirty-five and a half million! (according to a UN estimate).

    From the article above, the two photographs on the right here look like they were taken in the same spots Kaori was standing when she took this and this.
