August ain't so bad - just hot as hell

[Araner]

August, if the heat doesn’t kill you it can be quite an enjoyable month.

Cruising the streets looking for some action!


Somebody's reason to live


Happy ashtrays


Benched


The Redbrick Outdoor Bar


Children don’t care how hot it is outside


The Sun shines brightly on a summer’s day


Undaunted


The people in the park


I don't want a nickel, I just want to ride my motorsickle


Finger licking good – it’s global


Here comes the bus!


And, there goes the bus!


Only a few days ‘til September gets here and we say goodbye to August – it’s been a good summer around here.

Very nice pictures! I do miss Japan... absolutely wonderful country, and people.

Please post more pictures. I absolutely miss Japan and I compensate by eating natto and drinking Japanese alcohols.

Hi Lyrt! I'm with you on the Japanese alcohol! Especially Nikka’s new release of “Coffey Grain” and “Coffey Malt” whisky. They are incredibly good.

Unfortunately, Japanese whiskies have become so fashionable that their prices are bordering on extortion here in France. I do have a Miyagikyo in my cabinet but I keep it for special occasions. Otherwise, it's Kirin beer, umeshu, yuzushu and whatnot.

Another glimpse into your world. Thanks, Mike. I especially like the "Happy ashtrays" and I was amazed to see a Harley Davidson motorcycle there. Wouldn't a Harley be pretty expensive in Japan?

Your title on the pretty girl in the pretty shoes is thought provoking. Good one!

Hi Murray! Harley's are actually quite common here. I don't know what they cost, but there are plenty of new and vintage Harley's out on the streets of Japan.
