If I remember correctly the photo was pre-dinner and still light enough for a twilight shot... plus I could avoid any impact on my technique due to some great wine. Casey .

What a lovely pic!!!! Only thing that could make it better-Gojira in the background.

ゴジラ (Godzilla) "King of the Monsters", the fictional figure from a series of Japanese films. The character who first appeared in a 1954 film became a culture icon, appearing in 32 films produced by Toho, four Hollywood films, etc. etc. Casey .

You know your Godzilla facts! Are you a fan as well Casey? Only thing is I don't want G to be fictional. It would be great if he was alive swimming around and stuff.

thanks for the comment kjkt3... rgds, Casey .

a wonderful shot with a lovely, cool bluish tinge overall... also shows the amount of energy to keep a city going 24/7.

the city from 40F and above is always fascinating to my eyes... night photos particularly. Casey .

...Tokyo at night is magic : )

My first time at that restaurant... the food was excellent. Casey .

I have always been tempted to take that helicopter early evening tour... not sure if it's still on offer and it's hit or miss with the weather, but it must be a fantastic view. Twilight (morning or night) is a favorite time for taking photographs... Casey... 

I found this list, not sure if it's accurate... The 10 Largest Cities in the World - 2021 Edition 01- Tokyo, Japan. 02- Delhi, India. 03- Shanghai, China. 04- Sao Paulo, Brazil. 05- Mexico City, Mexico. 06- Dhaka, Bangladesh 07- Cairo, Egypt 08- Beijing, ... 

It's been a few years now, but I am still happy with the Fujifilm x100t... Casey .

So looking forward to coming back..

I haven't heard when tourists will be allowed entry... and at the moment some shinkansen north of Tokyo are not running due to the recent quakes... patience is required... Casey .

One day, we can do this togather with your friend (maybe I know him) Nice frame

but it was a long time friend from Hawaii who only uses a smart phone camera hehehe. But let me know when you plan on visiting again. Casey .

waiting for Japan to open door for traveling

before using public transportation... in the mean time enjoy your local community where ever you are \(ツ)/ Casey .

and the evening only got better as the wine was flowing... Casey .

I think If I were there I wouldn't probably sleep at all but would be admiring how great everything look like.

at street level you feel like the city goes on forever, and from the 42 floor that feeling is confirmed \(ツ)/ Casey .
