From the Balcony Today...

This is what I saw (click to enlarge)...

Kinda sums up Japan; low-tech, high-tech...

A couple of guys unloading rice at the "rice depot" across the street.

The sun shining through the clouds (another typhoon is coming tomorrow, by the way).

Ditto...

A botched shot, but oh so almost-cool (like a scene from Star Trek, or something).
