Quick Hit: Japanese Flood Infrastructure.

Via Pink Tentacle.

The Japanese photographer, Sato Jun Ichi, has collected a wealth of photographs from over a ten-year period that documents Japan`s sophisticated (and incredibly aesthetic) flood-control infrastructure.

Practical, and ofttimes poetic, these varying floodgates are a marvel. Would that we had anything nearly as awesome in the States.

Check out the photographer`s own site, here, for more images. And expect regular updates to resume tomorow (if I remember to bring my jumpdrive files).
