Asakusa is one of those places that I love to visit every time I come to Tokyo. Not a whole lot has changed since the first time I visited in 2003.

This year I have taken more photos of these birds and share them with you here. In case you missed it, here are a couple of similar posts from 2010 and 2009.

Was introduced to Blackrapid line of camera strap by a friend and I am very impressed by the design and quality of the product.  I ordered the RS-Sport 2 strap with 2 bonus quick release plates for use with Manfrotto tripods which I currently do not own (yet).  The bundle was offered at Amazon and is cheaper than buying just the RS-Sport 2 directly from Blackrapid.
