Japan Trains and Station Clock in Sepia

Japanese trains usually run like clockwork, but are sometimes delayed because of weather such as strong wind or snowfall. The train station is busy throughout the day. During the day, it is filled with shoppers and travellers. By 10 p.m., the shops have closed and the homeless have come inside to claim their spot for sleeping in any corner they can find.

This photo is of the clock that hangs in the center, above the ticket gate. The lower deck is for the local trains. The second floor is where you can catch the Shinkansen-Bullet train.

Station Clock
I took this photo a couple of days ago. I didn't even notice the man on the second floor until I was editing the photo.

Juana, welcome to Sepia Scenes! Glad to have you join us! Love the sepia tone. Is that guy taking a picture of you??

Hi Mary, thanks for the welcome. That guy was talking on his cell phone, but I blurred out his face, so it looks like he's taking a photo of me. Accidental effect!

Isn't that funny how that happens sometimes. It's like your camera sees more than you do.

What a great sepia subject, well done!

I like this in sepia - without all the different colors vying for attention the graphics seem to pop!
Well done.

My Sepia post is at Carletta’s Captures.

Wonderful first entry in sepia :)

Welcome to Sepia Scenes, Juana :)! I wouldn't notice the man either, because the other objects seem more fascinating. Great first entry. Best wishes.

Welcome to Sepia Scenes. Love the picture and immediately started imagining how colorful the scenes is in reality.

I agree with Carletta, and I enjoy all the aspects of your photo.

Very nice, the monochrome really allows the lines to pop. Love the way the man appears to be taken your picture as well, sort of a hall of mirrors effect.

I like the way the sepia brings out all the architectural aspects so clearly. I didn't notice the man right away because I was drawn to the clock face. He does appear to be taking your photo too!

Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I look forward to improving my sepia and photography skills:)

Oh how many times have I found things like that in photos that I didn't see when I shot them? Your "visitor" doesn't hurt this one at all though. In fact, he may even lend a little interest (because let's face, it, at first you have to wonder how he got up there -- and why!)

Nice job of multitasking here -- great for both themes!

this shot is so crisp, I like that
and I think the guy taking a photo of you taking a photo is great ;)
PJ said…
I see you seeing me seeing you seeing me seeing you...the sepia is so soft and then the photographer is so intense. Cool!

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
