Mori-cho, Kinshicho, Tokyo

A rainy day and Leh with a bit of fever, so hung close to the apartment today. The relative quiet was punctuated by the excitement of a fire about half a block away. The fire department was all over it, as they tend to be in places where there are lots of buildings very close together. The fire was in the offices of a yard for delivery trucks, and didn't seem to amount to more than a lot of smoke, but they did bring in an ambulance - I don't know if anybody was hurt.

A fire truck as seen from the stairs of our apartment; slightly unnerving when you remember that the building is right next door to a gas station...

They had about eight trucks on the scene...

This ambulance came a little too close to Leh for my comfort, but then we were probably standing too close to the action...

This cluttered little garage is just down the street from our apartment. The owner always seems to have a couple of rally cars in there. I've never had the chance to talk to him.
