Look Up!

A gently sloping "up" today, across the weird chaos of central Kagoshima City, as seen from next to the coast.

Cheers for now,

Very imposing looking. Is it still functional?

A tiny, disused fuel station, next to The Sea of Japan...
...which has a dolphin under the roof.

Oh yes, you can see the sea of tourists waiting to use it at the bottom at a cost.

It is a steep walk but the smart know the subway has two entrances, one in the lower town and one in the upper town, you can let the escalators take the strain for free

Shhh, don't tell the crowds waiting to pat for a 30 second ride.

Technically, I was looking "across".
But typically, you'd have to Look Up! at this massive crane in the city now.

Cheers for now,

Another angle on the massive crane (post #288), in the city right now, taken today, in between stormy rain, and braving hideous humidity.

I'm getting fed up with the heat & humidity.
Fingers crossed it eases off this week, enough for me to shoot some more photos for you good folks on FoPF.

Cheers for now,
Simon
