Tokyo, Japan

Mt. Fuji

Was the most clear I've ever seen, as you could see Southern Izu!

We live around here

Beautiful!!

It's amazing!!

$Tokyo, Japan by /\ltus.$

A bit out of sequence in my shots here...this is a 5xp HDR rendered photo take a few minutes before the previous shot atop the Mori Building in Roppongi Hills.

Taken on Dec 31, 2008 as the family and I went to watch the last sunset of 2008 over the city we call home.

Tokyo, Japan

Awesome Altus. When I was in Japan last, and went to Tokyo for a few hours, I was in the Mori building visiting the company. Wish the weather was as good as this was - as this is one of the most beautiful scenes. Esp when you can see Fuji-san from there.

Excellent work!
