Hope you are having fun over in Japan. If you'd been on the streets a bit earlier, you'd have been run down by an armada of bicycles.  Which part of Tokyo are you in, and what for - business, pleasure, cameras?

They're all standing behind Huw watching him take the photo.
They've never seen someone so tall handling such a tiny camera!

Any time, Chris - nothing would make me happier!

I love Erm's idea of going on safari in Finchley.
Having posted my photo below, I saw Erm's comments and wondered..... was it really taken at 17:40-something? Mine was taken only about 20 minutes later and it was already pitch black, although Finchley cannot be more than 30 miles in a straight line from the Surrey-Hants borders.........

Takanawa, Minato-ku, and basically it's a holiday, plus visiting family. However, I work for my brother, and he's the one I'm visiting, so inevitably it's business too. :-)

I certainly have!

Brilliant inexpensive public transport + lack of parking = no traffic. :-)
Well, apart from the bicycles Zou mentioned - and they ride on the pavement! :-)
Here's another Tokyo traffic scene - about 11am, this one, still on a week-day. When was the last time you saw a road like this in London, Birmingham, Manchester, or Glasgow looking so empty at mid-morning on a week-day? It's quite a culture shock, albeit a nice one. :-)

Canon Powershot A610 RAW- converted to mono
Have you hacked the A610 to give you RAW, as it doesn't come as standard?

Me too? Methinks Erm put her clocks forward at t'weekend rather than back.
Incidently, I travelled back from Germany on Sunday having already put the clocks back in the morning, then had to put the clocks back again in the afternoon when the plane landed! A 26 hour day!!

Hmmm I just grabbed the time from the EXIF...  But no that'd be right because I have another 20 or so shots that I took in the next 15 minutes as I walked home and by the time I got back it was indeed pitch black.
This was one of the last, taken at 18:05 :
Yep, the light changes quick
I only walked about 200m in all that time
