Prelude to a Typhoon

Post by Araner »

Yesterday we had typhoon #19 (Vongfong) creeping toward us from the south sending its miserable rainy weather as an advanced warning of worse things to come. It was also a holiday and I was off from work. I did not want to spend the day in front of a TV or computer cooped up inside the house so I went for a walk.

I don’t know if it’s an age thing or just me but more and more I feel the need to be out and about observing and participating in the life on the streets.

I’m not alone.
Image

Just nearly alone.
Image

I noticed that the city buses were running but not many were riding.
Image

Stopped for a cup of coffee and a light snack – very civilized on a rainy day.
Image

No hustle and bustle on this street.

The Barber shop is open, just needs a customer to complete the picture.

The rain is starting to pick up a bit.

Image

Whatever the weather the Bashamichi district is always a nice place to walk.
Image

No typhoon is going to keep this couple from doing a little shopping.
Image

My good friends Nicky and Nicole, I can always depend on them to come out to play.
Image

It’s a good time to start heading home.
Image

Image

I caught the train for the last leg of my journey home, the platform attendants are already dressed for the heavy rain and high winds to come.
Image

The typhoon raged outside all night and we survived just fine. Now the sun is coming out and I must be off to work, oh boy!

Regards,
Mike

Another one of your great "day in the life" series, Mike, and another glimpse into life in Japan. Thanks for posting these photos.

Glad to hear you came through the typhoon without any personal harm or damage.
