A Simple Shopping Trip

While I grow accustomed to navigating crowds, they never cease to astonish and sometimes annoy.  A shopping excursion just to purchase basic household items can take hours on foot and subway, ending in fatigue and frustration.  This is a photo taken outside Shibuya subway station late on Sunday afternoon.  Every time the traffic light changes, all vehicles halt as pedestrians undulate across the pavement like electrons generating current.  Today the crowds were positively charged and I, negatively.   Though pedestrian streams flow with relative ease, avoiding too much friction, admittedly they sometimes wear me down.
