Shopping In Kobe

On the 8th of October in 2007 which was public holiday in Japan, we went shopping along the main shopping area of Kobe (the Sannomiya Arcade, the Motomachi Arcade and surrounds). Unlike in Perth where the shops are closed on public holidays, in Japan they are the busiest shopping days.

For this outing I brought along a Nikon D50 and a Sigma 10-20 lens and got some shots of the shopping action
