Japan is famous for its trains always being on time.
So went the saying, once. Not quite these days though. And isn't it always the way that just when you bet on getting a slightly later train to work, it is going to be the one that will have more delays in one trip than it usually has in a week. And of course it would also be on the day I have a morning class, for which there is still some preparation to do...
Tokyo's train system, in seeking to maximise convenience, has become too complicated for its own good and like computers, when it works, it is very very good, but when it breaks, it can be well, not quite horrid but a little annoying. To say the least.
All the lines used to work quite discretely, you just reached a particular station and changed to the next line. Now, many of the 'lines' run into other 'lines' and so an accident in a far distant places can cause mayhem just about everywhere else...something butterfly, something wings, something storm...
Anyway, we got there, and we managed the class and then it was back to where time and motion are constant: the port. After yesterday's minor effort of near zero, today I was more mindful of time and motion on the bay...
 |
| Constant motion |
 |
| A view of the bridge |
{Then I watched this ship come in under the bridge...}
 |
| Birds, bridge boat |
{Through the port...}
 |
| 'Steaming' ahead |
{And do a u-ey to berth...between 6.22 and 6.43pm}
 |
| Spinning around |
And time and motion in the sun and the moon.
 |
| Nice one, after a rainy morning |
 |
| Welcome back 300mm |
Thus completing a day where I managed to use all the cameras...too much time? Just enough (e)motion?
