Street Scenes: Shinjuku Tokyo

When photographing cities the day doesn’t end when the sun goes down. In fact a whole new world of opportunities opens up.

The neon forests of Shinjuku in Tokyo offer the perfect setting for capturing an urban landscape at night. Tripod required.

Hi Wendy! Glad to get here, this time to be rewarded with the amazing Shinjuku lights!! Wonderful the way you catch the night pics without blurring them... ;))
Tripoli, Lebanon is also an amazing post!
Now, do you want to have a look at a magic place: Delos, Apollo’s birthplace and home to Dionysus sanctuary? Blogtrotter has it! ;))
Hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend!
