What’s this? Wide open spaces in Tokyo?
Supplies for repairs to tsunami barriers, like the one I’m standing on.

Inspired by recent discussion about the appearance of apparently supernatural phenomena in photographs, I uploaded some old pictures of mine for your continued interest.
These particular pictures I had for 8 or so years. I had thought them lost but recently re-indexed every picture in my possession using , a process that took over a day(!). I make no claims as to their authenticity or anything else; however, I might say that as far as I know, they predate the era of easy fakes using Photoshop, and if they are fake, they are very good ones.
As always, every picture is a link, click for a full-sized version.
Japanese Ghost Pictures
Starting off, at first glance this is not a particularly compelling case for the existence of ghosts. The “noise” in this photograph could be easily explained by faulty film, double exposure, or mishandling during development.
However, it certainly does look strange, especially considering where they appear to be standing.
The view from my bedroom, of a bird perched on the top of a tower. Not really night driving, sorry.
A view of North Sydney from a favourite spot in Waverton.
A view across the harbour to Sydney Proper.
Lane Cove Road, deserted at 2am in the morning and a favourite place for me to drive in excess of 120kph.
Looking at that photo, I noticed there’s a red light camera there I hadn’t seen before. Shit.
4 pictures. I took many more but they are too blurry. I will buy a tripod tomorrow I think.
Tonight’s destination was the Blackwattle Bay / Annandale / Glebe area.
The dark underside of Anzac Bridge, near the (restricted) Blackwattle Bay shipping docks.
This is another view of Anzac Bridge, this time from Glebe Point, on the west end of Centennary Park.
Thousands of import cars awaiting delivery. These apartments have a great view of the Blackwattle Bay docks, which may be good or bad depending on your attitude to watching ships load and unload. This is at the south-west end of Pyrmont.
Looking in the other direction we can see the SHB. This is a really nice area. The apartments behind me cost $650 a week for 2 bedrooms, wish I could afford it.
UPDATE: purchase of a tripod delayed due to bitter, abject poverty. That’s the bad news. The good news is that, over the next few weeks, fans of blurry, underexposed night photography are in for the treat of their lives right here at fukamachi.org!
