I took a wrong turn when walking from the train station to the city center and ended up walking along the canal. I came across this really colorful set of storage sheds. They felt simultaneously uniform and unique. | Ricoh GRiii 28mm
These crowd were flying everywhere in a massive swarm. Felt a little eerie honestly. | Leica M246 Mono + Voigtlander 50mm
The final bus/tram station on the north side of the city (headed toward the mountains) with all of the passengers switching transport options. | Ricoh GRIii 28mm
The first hike on the north side of Lake Hamori. | Ricoh GRiii 28mm
The log bridge to cross from the train side to the road side of the path. | Ricoh GRiii 28mm
My trusty Pentax Spotmatic and Zeiss 50mm. | Ricoh GRiii 28mm
Back tracking along the main road to get to the ridge ascent trail. | Leica 246 Mono + Voigtlander 21mm

Sun was starting to fade (early at around 3pm). | Ricoh GRiii 28mm
Trees, and, uhm, also trees. | Leica 246 Mono + Voigtlander 21mm
