I have never been in the rooms on the upper floors but I can imagine it is amazing to actually look down to the plaza below from the room ...thanks for taking a look and commenting
Space is always at a premium in Japan - so politeness is also always necessary to get along. A few "excuse me" said usually does the trick - if not its time to order another beer and wait! hehe
I have found each Leica lens has it own distinct "personality" - and the Summilux is a joy to shoot with in low light settings. Thanks Mitresg for commenting
Thanks tclair - normally I would have shot this with a slow shutter speed on a tripod but I couldn't set it up because of the high water so it was hand held at a higher shutter speed (I think around 1/800th) thus the stop action of the water. With photography it is always something!!
