  1. Woh, two green-bulbby images. Overload of dark scary green. :O

    Where is that, Japan Town S.F. ?

    Also, to trouble you with another question, what is the most popular kind of green for Japanese culture, if any? (As in emerald for Irish and Jade for Chinese.)

  2. lol. This last roll of film was unfortunately, processed in the wrong chemicals....so put on your sunglasses this week!

    This was taken somewhere in San Jose, when I went to visit my parents.

    I wish I had the correct answer to your question. As 'midori' means 'green' in Japanese, my vote is for Midori melon liqueur. I'm sure it probably has more to do with vegetation, though.

    According to wiki: In Japanese, despite the existence of a word in the modern language meaning "green", the color is sometimes described as blue, as in blue traffic light and blue leaves, reflecting the absence of a word meaning "green" in old Japanese.

  3. That's bazaar. Green seems like such a distinct color. Leaves and sky (the same!).

    P.S.

    Midori melon liqueur = looks like the drink at the Star Trek bar or the slime in the Ghost Busters movie :P

    :)Okay, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
