[Birna Rørslett]

Akira: your description matched my perceived impression.

And you should really read something of Murakami's writings.

Birna, I will put his novels into my (near) future "to read" list.

[Frank Fremerey]

Akira & Birna: thank you for explaining your impression. For my feel the picture shows the theatrical performance of everyday life in the city, I often feel people are not living their lives but performing a role in a play instead.

Concerning Murakami: You, Akira, are fortunate enough to read the originals you will probably find in any public library and I am fortunate to have a German genious translator for Murakami meaning the German translation appears long before the English version. In the past the German translator used the English version instead of the Japanese original. I feel the result is now much better without being able to really judge; I do know zil about Japanish language.

[Fons Baerken]

Fons, Frank and John, you together make an enjoyable series of color compositions!

Akira, thank you for your kind words.

Agree. One of the best writers of our time.

Luckily we have a very good translator for the Dutch language who translates directly from the Japanese.

Frank and John, thank you for your additional suggestion of the works by Murakami.  It goes without saying that the direct translation is far better than the indirect one.  Other translations may help as reference, though.

Thank you very much Akira.  Your view and vision on Tokio and your surrounding is always a joy to see.

Nice.   

On the D7200  (Bubble bokeh is easyily achievable  )

The heavy wind made it difficult to get a good composition

[Akira]

Akira, thank you for your kind words.

You are welcome.  I'm enjoying the unique color rendition of your images.

Thank you very much Akira.  Your view and vision on Tokio and your surrounding is always a joy to see.

Thank you for kind words.  Very encouraging.
