Getting Together, Okayama Station

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 1 September 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.

The fountain at Okayama Station is a convenient and popular meeting spot. Can you spot the umbrella kindly left for use in emergencies...?

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!

Une jolie atmosphère urbaine, qu’on ne trouve que dans les grandes villes.

This fountain reminded me of a dandelion, about the umbrella, quite common to see left behind stuff like umbrellas, magazines, newspaper, a whole sharing lifestyle from those leaving them I think!
