A stairway on a pedestrian overpass. Trees politely photobomb from behind. 🚶‍♂️🔵

歩道橋の階段、気づけば抽象画。円は整列し、青い手すりは冷静で、背後では秋がさりげなく主張している。🍁🟦

A color photograph of a pedestrian overpass stairway shot from the side. Bright blue railings run diagonally across the frame, with a decorative panel featuring a repeating pattern of circular rings. Behind the railing, trees with vivid red autumn leaves peek through, contrasting with the cool blue metal.

I found your old washing machine right here: retired with dignity, flanked by mops like honorary guards. 🧼⬅️

あなたの古い洗濯機、ここにありました。モップに守られ、矢印の指示には今も忠実で、第二の人生を静かに満喫中。🪣➡️

A color photograph of an outdoor utility area. An old washing machine stands on the ground in front of weathered metal doors stained with rust. Above it hang rows of blue mop heads on a metal rack. To the right, a bright red sign with a large white arrow points left, leaning casually against the wall.

Nagoya Dome hovering in the distance like a sci-fi promise. 🚗🌇

夕暮れの空に浮かぶナゴヤドームは、どこか控えめなSF感。📡🌆

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photograph taken from an elevated position overlooking a road at sunset. Cars move quickly, creating soft motion blur along the lanes. Power lines and utility poles crisscross the scene. In the distance, the large domed roof of Nagoya Dome rises above low buildings, lit warmly by the setting sun under a pale blue-green sky.

Cinder blocks enjoying a sunset, scattered across the rooftop; they booked the whole place for a quiet evening. 🧱🌇

夕暮れを満喫するコンクリブロックたち。屋上に適当に散らばりつつ、この空間を独り占めしているかのよう。🪨🌆

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a flat rooftop covered with a dark tarp-like surface. Small white cinder blocks are placed sporadically across it, catching warm orange light from the setting sun. In the background are rooftops, trees, and apartment buildings, all bathed in the same soft glow.

A sloping street where fallen leaves missed curfew. 🍂💡

街灯の琥珀色に照らされた坂道。落ち葉は、門限を逃したささやきのように集まっている。湿った夜が、静かに見張っている。🌙🍁

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan #monochrome
A dark nighttime photo of a narrow, sloping street covered in scattered yellow leaves. The scene is illuminated by a single warm streetlight, casting a golden glow over the pavement. A striped utility pole stands on the left, and the road curves into deeper shadow ahead.

Autumn's half-hearted curtain call. 🌙🍁

十二月の初め、記憶と崩壊のあいだに立つ家。その前で、紅葉の名残が散りたがらず、黄のシートがカーテンコールのように揺れている。🍂🏚️

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of an old, weathered building in Nagoya taken at dusk. A yellow tarp hangs loosely across its faded blue facade, while a nearly bare tree with a few red leaves stands in front. The early evening sky is deep blue, with a bright half-moon visible above. A telephone pole and stray cables frame the scene, giving it a melancholy, cinematic stillness typical of early winter.

Steel trees broadcasting autumn’s final sigh. 🍂📡

十二月初め、枝に残る紅葉は秋という文の句読点。頭上では通信アンテナが伸び、鋼の木々が季節のため息を電波に変えている。🍁📶

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo showing a few vivid red leaves hanging from nearly bare branches against a blue sky streaked with thin clouds. Below them stands a mid-rise building topped with multiple cell antennas. Power lines crisscross the scene, and soft late-afternoon light warms the edges.

Somewhere between parking spaces 6 and 7 lies enlightenment. ☕️🔢

6番と7番の間にあるのは、悟りか、それともそこそこ美味いコーヒーか。名古屋のユーモア、看板でお届け。🚗😂

Description for the visually impaired: A color photo of a street corner featuring a blue and white parking sign reading “P 6.7” with a red arrow pointing left. Behind it, a vertical “COFFEE” sign hangs beside a red brick wall. A crosswalk, utility pole, and residential houses fill the background under a vivid blue sky.

Orange does most of the talking. 🍊💡

手書きの値札と裸電球に照らされた果物屋。🧺🍎

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a small fruit and vegetable shop in Nagoya. The space is crowded with cardboard boxes stacked high, each with handwritten price tags. Oranges and apples dominate the front, glowing under warm hanging bulbs. A man in a teal work uniform and helmet stands in the foreground, while another man in a colorful shirt moves about inside. A color photo of a small produce market in Nagoya. The storefront glows under an orange awning, with a bamboo blind partially drawn to filter the morning light. Boxes of fruits and vegetables spill out onto the sidewalk—bananas, apples, oranges, leeks, and gourds. Inside, a person in a light jacket moves between the stacks.

The temple at Kakuozan, seen through bars.🏯🔵

柵の隙間から覗く覚王山の寺。悟りへの道も入場制限付きのように見える。🌞🙏

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan #kakuozan
A color photo of a temple at Kakuōzan in Nagoya, viewed through vertical black bars in the foreground. The temple’s wooden architecture and sweeping tiled roof stand out against a vivid blue sky. A few visitors and a small white van are visible near the entrance.

The rest of the block prefers shadow and discretion. 🕶️🚶

陽射しがちょうど一面の壁だけを照らし、古びた看板を浮かび上がらせる。残りの街区は静かに影の中で様子をうかがっている。🌇🏙️

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan #monochrome
A black-and-white photo of a narrow urban street in Nagoya. Sunlight falls sharply on one side of a wooden building, illuminating a weathered sign with Japanese text while the rest remains in shadow. Power lines crisscross above the street, and apartment buildings line the background. The contrast between bright light and deep shadow gives the scene a cinematic stillness.

Shadows, pipes, and one lonely bicycle complete the illusion of comfort. 🚲🌤️

影と配線、そして一台の自転車がその錯覚を仕上げている。☀️🏚️

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan #monochrome
A black-and-white photo of a quiet Nagoya street scene. The building façade is made of corrugated metal, lit by sharp sunlight that casts deep shadows from nearby structures. A bicycle leans against a utility pole in front, next to a pedestrian crossing sign. The textures of metal, shadow, and light create an unexpectedly warm, nostalgic feeling despite the industrial materials.

Even citrus needs supernatural protection sometimes. 🍊💀

みかん畑の守護者は、骸骨姿で無言の見張り。果物だって時には超自然的な護衛を必要とするらしい。👻🍊

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a vegetable and mikan (orange) garden with a spooky scarecrow figure standing tall at the center. The scarecrow has a skeletal mask and tattered black robes, resembling a ghostly reaper. Behind it is a beige apartment building, and the sky glows deep blue, giving the scene an eerie yet oddly cheerful contrast between ripe fruit and haunting presence.

The shutters droop, the awning sulks, but someone still waters the cactus. 📷🚗

シャッターはくたびれ、テントはふてくされ気味。それでもサボテンには水がやられている。🌵🏠

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of an old storefront with a faded turquoise awning and partially closed metal shutters. The sign above reads “荒川カメラ” (Arakawa Camera). The left side of the shop is dark and empty, while on the right a pale pink car is parked halfway inside the garage. A small cactus and potted plant sit neatly on the ground out front, adding a touch of life to the otherwise still, sunlit scene.

Two motorcycles try their best to look cool, only to be warped into abstract art by flaking mirrored glass. 🏍️🪞

二台のバイクが鏡越しにポーズを決めるも、剥がれた鏡面により前衛アート化。💨✨

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan #supercub
A color photo showing two motorcycles reflected in a panel of old, deteriorating mirrored glass. The glass is scratched and peeling, with silvering that has flaked away in jagged patches, distorting the reflections into abstract shapes. Warm tones of gold and blue mix with the cool metal frame, creating a layered, weathered texture that turns a simple reflection into something painterly.

Beige wall, green letters, blue sky. There. 😤🏢

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a beige stucco building with a latticed window above and bright green letters on the wall reading “コーポUS.” The sunlight casts warm shadows across the textured surface, and a clean blue sky fills the right side of the frame.

A color photo showing a glowing hexagonal shop sign with a red kanji character at its center. The sign juts out from a textured wall painted dark blue and beige. Above and beside it, a security camera and light fixtures echo the angular shapes.

An old bicycle shop that seems to have rusted into retirement. 🚲🛠️

かつての自転車屋。看板はまだ元気そうだが、錆とトタンで継ぎ接ぎされた壁が「もう引退です」と静かに語っている。🪛🏚️

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a weathered two-story building that once housed a bicycle shop. The structure is patched with corrugated metal sheets, faded wood, and peeling paint. A partly broken window with a rusted shutter dominates the upper half, while the lower part shows darkened boards and a crooked wooden door. Above, a red and white sign still advertises the shop.

A house patched together like a quilt: turquoise sheet metal, scorched wood, faded plaster, and one stubborn green window. 🪟🔌

ターコイズのトタン、焼けた木、くすんだ漆喰、そして頑固そうな緑の窓。🏚️📏

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of the exterior wall of an old house in Nagoya. The wall is a patchwork of materials: turquoise and pale blue sheet metal panels at the bottom, a strip of dark wooden boards above them, and faded plaster near the roof. A green-paned window sits to the left, while an electric meter is fixed to the wall on the right. Overhead, utility cables curl against the roofline.

Dry grass bows dramatically in the foreground, while a truck and tarped mystery shape lurk. 🌾🚛

手前に枯れ草が主役のように揺れ、奥にはトラックと白いシートに覆われた何か。🍂🏗️

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of an industrial scene near train tracks in Nagoya. The foreground is filled with tall, dry golden-brown grass in sharp focus. Behind it, partly obscured, is a truck with Japanese text on the side and a large white tarp covering an unidentified object. A chain-link fence separates the lot from the railway structure and a simple white building.

This little house fronts the street with an unmistakable scowl: twin windows glaring like narrowed eyes, a door for a stern mouth, and a leafy beard of potted plants. 😠🏠

まるで怒った顔のような外観。二つの窓は吊り上がった目、ドアは真一文字の口、鉢植えの群れはもじゃもじゃのヒゲ。👀🌿

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a narrow, peach-colored house with blue roof tiles and a triangular gable. The upper windows resemble angry eyes, while the wooden front door looks like a stern, tight mouth. Potted plants crowd the entrance, forming what looks like a beard. The overall impression is of a grumpy face glaring out at the street.

A color photo of a small kissaten (coffee shop) in Nagoya. The building has a faux-European brick façade with two blacked-out upstairs windows. A vivid red vertical banner in front reads “日替りランチ” (daily lunch) in bold white letters. A small tree grows beside the doorway, partly shading the air conditioning unit.

A stone pagoda stands in stubborn sunlight, wrapped in late September greenery that hasn’t quite decided to fade. 🍃🗿

石塔を照らす陽射しと、九月末になっても青々とした緑。暦では秋なのに、葉はまだ夏の気分を引きずっている。🌱☀️

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a tall stone pagoda in a temple garden. The pagoda is lit warmly by sunlight, while thick green foliage surrounds it from all sides. The trees above create a lush canopy against a vivid blue sky. Despite being late September, the scene looks more like midsummer, with no hint of autumn color yet.

A shaded stone path...late summer’s way of saying “almost there, but not quite.” 🌿☀️

木漏れ日に染まる石畳の小径。その先に眩しい光が広がる──夏の終わりが「もう少しだけ」と囁いている。🍃🌞

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a narrow stone pathway through lush greenery. Trees and ferns cast dappled shadows across the ground, while the far end of the lane glows brightly with intense sunlight. The contrast between the cool shade and the bright opening evokes the feeling of late summer giving way to what comes next.

The heat lingers just enough to remind you it’s not quite autumn yet. 🌞🌿

#streetphotography #griiix #ricoh_gr #ricohgr #ricohgr3 #nagoya #japan
A color photo of a quiet alley in Nagoya on a sunny day. The narrow paved path curves gently, bordered by green plants on the left and a fence and houses on the right. Telephone poles and wires stretch overhead, while the bright sun casts deep shadows on the ground. The image captures a sense of lingering summer heat balanced with the first hints of seasonal change.
