Robot Flagman


I have seen this fellow around Tokyo before but this is the first time I've taken his picture. Here he is in Hamamatsucho waving cars away from danger with his right arm (there is a flashlight wand in it) while pointing the way with his left. There is another workman watching him and standing ready in case he fails in his duties. So far, he seems pretty reliable as far as I can tell.

There have been over 20 Typhoons this year and another one is rolling in tonight. So tomorrow will be messy.

See you soon.
