The titles nullify the viewer’s question: "What is it?" When that question is answered, the next question might be: "Why is it?"

Blue Pipe - Skytree (*) - Sumida (*) / Tokyo (*) (Fri 21 Sep 2012)
As is usual for me, we go to major tourist attraction, the brand new and very high Tokyo Skytree (*) Tower, and this is what I come back with, a photo of a blue pipe crossing a storm water drain.

Drawn to the blue and the receding darkening to black. The subtle vertical rust lines towards the bottom really make it for me. Another personal favourite from the trip.
