2 weeks ago we met Yuri & Kinoto in Azabu Juban and walked to Roppongi to see an exhibit at the Mori Arts Center
Around Roppongi Hills there is a series of benches designed by various artists that are very interesting, and a nice way to incorporate art into a space in a functional manner
Everything is a bit blue because it was an overcast day but bright, and I could not get the white balance settings to work for me very well.

Hello!
The roadway system, especially the elevated highways interests me. It is strange to look over at the 5th-6th floor of a building when you are on the highways.
The interchanges in Tokyo make those of Atlanta look simple.
When you get up high enough you can see that there are significant areas of green space preserved in the heart of the city
We went to see an exhibit called Sensing Nature, which explored Japanese perception of nature. This installation entitled 'Snow', was a room full of feathers with fans on timers. The feathers were picked up and then swirled around the room by the wind then allowed to slowly drift to the ground again when the fans went off.
The lighting on the back side of the feather display made it kind of look like people were floating
'Model of Oblivion' depicts pure white cliffs with blood running from them.
It made for interesting photos
'Wald aus Wald' (Forset from Forest) was a forest made of Japanese paper. You first experience the space "underground" in the realm of the insects and burrowing animals.
