Definitely not what I would expect to see in Japan. 🙂

For Ann-Christine’s unexpected challenge.

Tokyo Cityscape, LAPC #29

Tokyo cityscape

Stretching as far as one can see, part of the Tokyo cityscape from the Tokyo Skytree. Most awesome, it looks like this in all directions and gives an amazing perspective on the 13.8 million inhabitants of this metropolis.

Check out other great cityscapes at Patti’s site.

Weekly Photo Challenge – I’d Rather Be…

Australian Grand Prix spectator map

Here I am late to last week’s challenge because I happened to already be in a favorite place before this week’s challenge 🙂 . Anyway… last year I had the good fortune to be able to attend the event that’s the subject of this photo. And, as it turns out, this year’s edition has happened this weekend. So, for this weekend at least, instead of the cold, wintry time here it could definitely be a place I’d rather be.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Wanderlust

Morning Balloons

David W asks, “Have you traveled anywhere exciting lately? This week, let’s see where you’ve been.”

Funny you should ask. I’m just finishing a wonderful visit down under. The scene in the photo above appeared one morning while we were here. An amazing reward for a bit of wanderlust!
