Ooo a photo contest. I almost always post my Japan photos in the Photo Lovers community, but I'll have to see what I can dig up for this contest.

I like your angle here. We could have a title something like "floating away" or "and then they left me". Also I like the monochrome. As anyone who reads my posts know, I find monochrome to be the superior format for photos (though I'm a bit of a hypocrite and often do post color photos).

You know for years I always carried a tripod everywhere. It was just part of my daily carry. In Japan most expats (regardless of age) always carry around a backpack, so I fit right in with my pack full of camera gear. But lately I have started leaving it at home as well as most of the gear, only taking my camera itself and one lens. Whew, it does make travel much easier!
