[jules' pics] Boxing Day

It didn't start out that well...
Boxing Day in Tokyo
But after a tasty business lunch in a basement, discussing a paper revision with a colleague also attending the meeting, we went home the slow way.

The light was a bit wild at the newly refurbished Tokyo station.

The pale brown stuff below is grass. It always does this here, because it is so dry in winter.

Found some end-of-year leaves (ginkgo)

And some 10th month cherry blossom
"October" Sakura
And then ran to meet James (who had been peacefully reviewing papers - his main occupation since August - in a cafe a couple of miles away), only pausing occasionally to photograph the architecture.
