Kaminarimon Sign at Asakusa, Tokyo for Sign2

 

"Small vessel township"

"Bridge" 

Asakusa is a bustling district in Taitō, Tokyo, known for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant atmosphere. One of the most iconic landmarks in Asakusa is Sensō-ji, an ancient Buddhist temple and the oldest in Tokyo, dating back to 645 AD.

The entrance to Sensō-ji is marked by the imposing Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), a magnificent structure that serves as a grand portal into the temple grounds. The Kaminarimon gate features a gigantic red lantern with the kanji characters "雷門" (Kaminarimon) boldly inscribed on it, symbolizing thunder and lightning. Flanking the lantern are statues of the Shinto gods Fujin (god of wind) and Raijin (god of thunder), adding to the gate's awe-inspiring presence.

Various street signs and street shots for Sign2

 

Upon Lismore's main thoroughfare, I find no place to stow my carriage.

This location, situated near China Town in Melbourne, is governed by a 'No Standing' sign, indicating that no vehicles, including bicycles, may be stationed here

The café in question is not situated in Segovia, but rather in Melbourne

De Graves Street possesses a distinctive ambiance. The indications are evident.

Upon the final day in Adelaide, we discovered a Thai establishment where we partook of spring rolls. Our endeavor to capture the beauty of Port Willunga proved unfruitful, for there were no parking spaces to be found.

A delectable Pork Knuckle adorned with a delectably crispy skin—one cannot miss such an exquisite dish, certainly not by mere accident.

All memories

Working on Sign 2 theme each week allows me to take more photo walks in CBD. It is fun to explore while walking some calories away.

Melbourne Street Signs for Sig2 and Happy New Year

 

Both spotted off St Kilda Road. 

For the fifth consecutive year, I shall eschew the practice of fireworks photography, as I am disinclined to endure the throngs of people that invariably congregate at such events. The second image, in fact, captures one of the roadside signs that pose a significant hazard to traffic—a veritable optical illusion for passersby. Even at the beaches, one finds an abundance of children and inebriates, who create a tumultuous environment for photographers. Therefore, my plans lean more towards an evening with Netflix and Disney.
