TIME DOES CHANGE ALL THINGS, BUT THE ROOFS STILL RETAIN THEIR HERITAGE TO A DEGREE, but they do look so much different than they did in the 60s. Of course, progress does change the shape of nearly everything. I preferred the more traditional roofs, but I can understand the reasons for change. Great photos by OSAKA.CAFE

A BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF EVENING LIGHTS THAT WILL GROW BRIGHTER AS THE EVENING GROWS LONGER...
This is a favorite and a marvelous shot.

...I want to go to Japan one more time just to walk through these colorful alleys with smiling faces inside the little bars and sake shops...
