Pic of the Day - Tokyo Nightscape

Tokyo Nightscape, originally uploaded by /\ltus.

I'm sure some of you have noticed my negligence in not getting the Pic of the Day out recently. My apologies... I've been very busy this week. For those who haven't found out already, I've officially accepted a contract position in Japan for the next 6+ months! The initial paperwork is in, and the appropriate people have been notified, so I can make this public now. :-)

Today's Pics are all from Japan, in honor of my upcoming trip. I'm not sure what my new work schedule will be like, or what level of internet access I'll have. But I'll do my best to keep up our daily pic selections while I'm overseas.

Today's Pic of the Day is a shot of the Tokyo metropolis from the Roppongi Hills Mori building. My ex-girlfriend works in this building (last I'd heard) and we made a trip to the observation deck on my last trip to Tokyo. Highly recommended if you're into high-places - my ears popped on the way up and down in the elevator!

Runners Up due to size:

http://flickr.com/photos/yayatan/35736937/ - Another shot from a high-rise in Tokyo. This time, one of the Metropolitan Government Building towers (not sure if it's North tower or South tower...) My ex-girlfriend and I also visisted this observation deck.

http://flickr.com/photos/ajpscs/360561093/ - A shot of an above-average work of art on a Harajuku girl. Harajuku is a district in Tokyo popular with young cos-players. Many of them hang out just to have their photos taken.

http://flickr.com/photos/sakura-kame/309418976/ - A cool aerial shot of Mt. Fuji! You can see the path up the side of the mountain. With any luck, I'll get a chance to climb Mt. Fuji while I'm in-country.
