Very Like a Whale

The famous Hep5 shopping centre in Umeda.

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

looks like it's in some shopping mall...
not too surprising as Japanese people can be pretty interestingly creative! :)
red whales! now that's an interesting idea!
and you've got an interesting capture of it's eye looking out of the picture and it seems to say, "Hey pal...what are you looking at?!?" :)

Hep5? Sounds to me like Hep C, D, and E. Anyway a most intriguing shot!
