I was wondering about the title, but your nice pictures happily gave me reassurance that Tokyo didn't gave in urban symmetry but did play with space and the fundamentals... ;D

Jacques, thank you for the comment.

I was wondering if I could convey this somewhat ironical meaning of this through these humble images of mine.  But your comment seems to reassure that I have succeeded in that.  :)

Your taste and eye for geometry being exercised again, to good effect. The only one I'm not sure about is #1 - the interesting wave-form fence? barrier? seems a bit overwhelmed by the upper 2/3 of the image.

Dave, thank you for the comment.

To me, the wavy fence gives some sense of movement to this otherwise a bit too static image.  I included this image to this series because my afterthought suggested me that the total amount of the mixture of natural and artificial elements divided by the red/white crane in the center felt almost equal.  But I would have to admit that the interpretation could be somewhat tricky.
