24: daylight tokyo - the auroran sunset Here at abelard.org, we take a lot of photographs. Many of them are pretty or interesting. This is the twenty-fourth in a regular “photograph with little or no explanation or comment” feature. I’m not a fan of cities. They are smelly, noisy and have far too many people. However, there are some compensations. Here are few photos taken in a walk around a suburb of Tokyo [1]. First, city hall:-
A nearby building with a lovely green dome up a tower. This and the city hall above are both on Nihon Oo-doori - “Japan Big Road” - a very picturesque road lined with trees and pretty buildings.
Looking down a street of towering buildings towards Yokohama’s [1] tallest building, the Landmark Tower, in the distance:-
A city park. Japanese parks rarely have much grass. This one has a sort of maze painted on the concrete and is dotted with pretty mirrored sculptures:-
A local company obviously wanted to show how rich they were with this very sparkly golden building. It looks pretty amazing in the evening sun:-
Landmark Tower is 296m tall, which makes it by far the tallest building in the area:-
Pretty hotels, a lit-up ship and one of the world’s biggest ferris wheels. All within walking distance of Landmark Tower. endnotes
