"Chuo Line, Kichijoji, Chiyoda Line, Nezu Area, Ginza, Etc."


August is coming to an end....  In the hot afternoon, the cicadas still sing, but come the cooler evening, the crickets begin singing away - reminding listeners that Autumn is on the way.  I welcome cooler temperatures, but still feel a little sad that summer is almost over.  And speaking of August, and summer, this batch of video clips may be a final blast of summer images - taken in the heat of summer, with no thought of the approaching Autumn.  Train views of the Chuo Line, Hibiya Line, Chiyoda Line, etc., and visits to Kichijoji, Nezu, Ginza, etc.
