Here is my response to Nancy Merrill Photography‘s photo challenge this week on the theme: Urban.

It’s also a chance for me to recall my springtime trips this year to one of the best destinations to go to – Japan.

This photo was taken on the same window spot of my hotel.

As soon as I arrived in my room that spring afternoon and looked out my window and I was amazed by this concrete jungle. One would think that this densely packed place might have been loud, but amazingly, it was pretty quiet any time of the day!

Those nights, the lights from the buildings around me served as my night lamp.
