121: 04/30/2012: The Wall of Azaleas #creative366project
There's a beautiful azalea hedge around an office of Asahi Shinbun Company which is about five minute walk from my house. They are reaching at their peak now.

Long-headed poppies came from Europe in the 1960's. Now they are everywhere.

124: 05/03/2012: Spanish Bluebells 釣鐘水仙 #creative366project
It's been raining since yesterday. I took out my camera and take some photos of this flower that has grown and is blooming in my garden. No one planted it there. It came out of nowhere. Isn't it a nice gift from nature? FYI, I live in the middle of Tokyo, and it's hard to find it growing on the roadside.

Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2
Lens: Canon New FD Macro 50mm f/3.5 with Extension Tube FD 25

I love to shoot handrails, especially on rainy nights.

Another image I took when I visited Mori Tower. I took this one from the observatory deck. I like the way Gaien East Street goes around the hill, where Tokyo Tower and many establishments such as schools and embassies are located.

115: 04/24/2012: the Setagaya Line #creative366project

I lived along the Tokyu Setagaya Line. Lovable two-car trains run so slow that I often competed on my bike ;)

Here I used three different images. First, I captured the light trails with 30-second exposure. Then, I captured the same train coming back this way (There is the last station located at the end of the curve). And waited and shot another train reaching the station (the blue one on the left track).

写真３枚を合成しました。１枚目は30秒露光で光跡を撮影。次に、向こう側から戻ってくる同じ電車を撮影（カーブの先が終点の駅なのです）。そして、もう一編成、駅に向かう電車（左側を走る青い電車）を撮影しました。駅部分は単線なので、この位置で電車がすれ違うことは実はありません。

117: 04/26/2012: Stars in Ariake #creative366project
These street lights cause severe lens flares when I shoot at this spot with LUMIX G VARIO 7-14mm, so I decided to make them the main subject with Cosina Voigtländer Nokton 25mm. #elevatedexpressways

118: 04/27/2012: 30-Minute Walk in a Local Town (April 27, 2011)

I try to take a walk as long as I can every day. It's part of the rehabilitation. I need to strengthen my leg muscles that were damaged at the accident. Today, I didn't have time to walk during the lunch time, so I walked home without taking a train. These are the fragments of the town I saw while walking in the drizzle.

Dogwood Season

The number of dogwood trees has been increasing. It's a kind of tree that is easy to maintain. I shot some of them during the lunchtime today.

How do the PERSONAL TOPs of G+ Photos Work?

1) Any photography enthusiast can create a PERSONAL TOP consisting of his/her own Google Plus photographs. This means any existing PERSONAL top has been created by the author of the photographs that are in the TOP; there are no PERSONAL TOPs that were created automatically.

2) Only G+ photographs published by you in one of your Google+ posts should appear in your PERSONAL TOP. This means any posts you have reshared or your own posts without a G+ photo should not appear. No GIFs should be in the TOPs.

3) Contrary to the DAILY TOPs are the PERSONAL TOPs sorted solely on popularity - we use Plus PopRank to sort these. The Plus PopRank formula is: Plus PopRank(of a post) = +1s + (2 x comments) + (4 x reshares)

Example: Let's say that a particular post has 25 +1s, 10 comments and 3 reshares. This means its Plus PopRank is 57 (= 25 + 2x10 + 4*3).
