Nice shots - the tulips have a great color tone, almost unearthly.
I htink I stayed in a hotel next to the Tokyo Hotel - is there a Comfort Inn or something like that next to it? Years ago I got a cheap room through some internet site and part of what made it cheap was that it had no street view. The buildings abuted on the ground floor but a few stories up there was just a gap maybe 20 feet wide between our hotel and the Tokyo Hotel - almost like an air shaft. I remember watching hand washing his clothes and hanging them on a makeshift clothes line (a pole actually) out of his window...
Photo doodles is a great idea - I started a new sub-blog a couple weeks ago that I'm calling "Diddles" with basically the same intent, though the only rule I have imposed upon myself is to limit it to photos from my domicle (which I define as the area around where ever I am sleeping on a particular day.)

Hi Everyone: I'm trying to get out of this photographic slump. I had a retirement party to attend last night, and when I left for home, I had to force myself to get the camera out of its bag. "Just take some playful pics," I kept saying to myself. Finally I listened. "Keep shooting," that little voice kept shouting. The last five frames were taken on the way to the train about 7:30ish p.m. The first two are day-shots I took some time back--who knows when and who cares. Once I started shooting, I passed by the closest train stop and kept walking; I started at the Merchandise Mart off the Brown line, headed east over to Michigan ave, then north to the Chicago and State Red line stop. It was windy and cold, but I have to say, in the end, it felt great--no where near my usual photographic groove, but to state the obvious, it ain't gonna come back if I don't get the camera out and press the shutter!!! So, once again, nothing great, and just bear with me while I try to get myself out of this slump. There are captions under the photos! cheers, Christine http://www.caguila.com/photodoodles1/
