I miss the endless city views from our Tokyo balcony

サンフランシスコのアパートは一階です。東京のベランダから見える、終わりのないような都市景色が懐かしいです。

In San Francisco, we live on the ground floor. I miss the endless city views from our Tokyo balcony.

Kitchen, balcony, and city in one frame, plus new summer fig tree

この視点から、台所やベランダや都市景色が枠のなかに見えます。前景には、今年の夏に買ったイチジクがあります。

This is the view from one end of our narrow balcony to the other, facing east towards Shinjuku. The twin towers are the Tokyo Metropolitan Government buildings, and to the right is the Park Hyatt hotel from the movie Lost in Translation. In the foreground is the fig tree, a new addition this summer.
