Man with tortoise, Kamakura

Originally uploaded by blather

Man with tortoise, Kamakura, near Tokyo Japan. This fellow appear to be out walking his tortoise – which, contrary to well known fables, was moving pretty quickly, trotting alongside him and doting over him like a dog. He had to restrain it at the pedestrian crossing to stop it from the road. When the light went green, he picked it up and carried it across!
