Shibuya Crossing


Shibuya Crossing

Shibuya Crossing
At the Shibuya train station in the Shibuya Distrct of Tokyo is a scramble crossing which is a 5-6 way crossing where all lights stop all traffic and then people just cross in every which way direction

I love the energy of this place, all the lights and all the people.

While there I "ran" out ot the middle and then just stood there and spun around to get a sense of everyone rushing by and the lights.
