In Japan, the month of June and the start of July are what’s called “Tsuyu” or rainy season. It’s considered a bad time for tourism, obviously, but it actually does not rain everyday. Fortunately, this year’s been pretty descent; we still had a few days of rain here and there, but they weren’t too bad.
I love photographs of the rain, but it’s pretty hard to photograph the rain; I tried a lot and got a few interesting shots with my iphone. This week’s “photo of the week” is a photo of a man on his bicycle, carrying an umbrella while waiting at the train crossing near our house. It’s not an unusual sight when you live in Japan, to see people riding a bicycle while holding an umbrella; some even manage to text on the top of that! It must be what’s called “Japanese efficiency”…
