Shibuya is well known for its scramble crossing, famed for the monstrous crowds of people crossing in five alternative ways. 

From high above, everyone seems so miniscule, showing how small we are in such a vast, infinite world. 

I altered this photo, enhancing the saturation and darkening it to add more of a fun, chaotic energy to the scene.

Himeji Castle Part I: Quite the trek to get to Himeji Castle, but worth it for the views from the exterior and six floors above later.
