Breaking news: Tokyo residents appreciate sky twice in one week

People in Tokyo don't spend enough time looking at the sky--it's usually obscured by a building.  Unless you work on the nth floor of some skyscraper, it's likely one of those things you might forget exists.

Except for this week.

We had a typhoon on Monday morning.  Typhoons--destructive while they're happening--disperse all the smog, and skies afterwords are truly beautiful.  I've learned that if one is headed our way I can expect my newsfeed to be chock full of everyone's snapshots for a day or two following.

I took my camera to work with me intentionally.  Took my break a little too late to catch the best colors of the sunset, though, so it's hard to tell that it's a post-storm photo.  Guess I'll have to have better timing next time.

And then came the eclipse, just two days later.  In Japan it happened after sunset, so it was really nice to be able to catch it.  I took this picture just outside the train station on my way home from work tonight.  Just a sliver!
