Like I said, the whole “street photography” thing doesn't really do it\nfor me, so I found<\/span> myself gravitating to a small<\/span> park behind the Tokyo\nMidtown<\/b> shopping center in Roppongi, the site of the really Really REALLY blue light\ndisplay<\/a> from several years ago, which is the last time I was<\/span> there.<\/p>\n\n\n
