  1. Tokyo

Great sceneries over Tokyo

The skyline of Tokyo makes an ever fascinating subject for photos. Majestic mount Fuji, the relief peaks of the Japanese Alps, clouds, sun, moon and stars compete with the cityscape of skyscrapers, parks and a sea of buildings. Every season has its owns shades of lights and colours. In winter the view is very clear where. Spring greats with the light colours of the blossoming trees. In summer the sky is most often hazy in the heat and humidity and one looks desperately for a blotch of blue sky. An exception is the immaculate blue sky after the passing of a typhoon. Autumn brings an array of saturated green, red and yellow leaves. The sunsets are most spectacular from my high rise appeasement that faces west. In Winter the sun drops far left of the skyline of Shinjuku while in Summer it sets far right over the Sunshine 60 tower of Ikebukuro. Many a morning when I look through the windows I can't resist to press the shutter. In the evening too when the sun sets against an ever changing backdrop of clouds there is an irresistible drive to click again and again.

    2012-01-10 When I got up I noticed the full moon over Ikebukuro at 6:50 in a slightly hazy sky. The sun had not risen yet but the moon took an orange tint. I quickly took 5 protrait shots using the 200 mm tele zoom. 10 minutes later the moon was nowhere to be seen.

    Winter sceene over Tokyo. Stitched from 10 handheld shots. The air is very clear in winter which makes for very sharp pictures. Canon 5D 70-200 mm F4 zoom.
