From just over the river in neighbouring Chiba, it wasn’t a surprise at all to see Tokyo’s truly enormous Skytree. The same, however, could not be said of Mount Fuji. Especially so at this time of year. And at such a distance.
But while they were both something to marvel at, the angry-looking sky was simply alarming.
Martin says
Nice! I really like black & white shadows.
Lee says
Cheers. Me too. Simply not the same in colour.
Andrew says
Wow, I can’t believe you could see Mt. Fuji from there! What a fine day that must have been – until the storm that is.
Lee says
I was equally surprised. There had been a big storm the day before, which presumably led to Fuji-san being visible. But that beautiful, post-storm weather didn’t last quite as long as expected…
Willy says
Yay! That’s a hole-in-one for photography!
Lee says
Haha, I suppose it is of sorts!
Hans ter Horst says
I’m mostly impressed with the great quality of the sky in this photo, love the “grain” in the clouds.
Lee says
Thanks! To try and get as much of the sky in the frame as possible, I ended up climbing up a wall and hanging precariously from a fence on the top of it. Came away with a good few scratches, but also the shot above, so I was happy enough.
Lizzy says
Breathtaking! 😀 If a bit ominous.
Lee says
Thanks!
It was. Seemed like we were going to get caught in it too, but we managed to find shelter in time.
