Morning of Kachidoki (light, sea and boat)

[Yurikamome] 08:30 on September 21, 2011

  In the clear early morning of autumn, the sun illuminates the scenery from the side.

The western ridgeline of the chimney (cross section triangle ▲) of the Harumi Incineration Plant is shaded by the sun.

It was shining brightly as shown in the photo.

Look at the side of the surrounding building. I'm curious. Why is it?

 I looked around and looked for him.

Considering the direction of the sun, the high-rise apartment is about 350 meters north-northwest of the chimney.

The light reflected in the southeastern glass wall hit the ridgeline behind the chimney and reflected here.

It can be thought of. It is only a few minutes that you can take this picture because the sun moves.

This is a skit of continuous reflection of light above 150 to 200 meters above ground.

 

 

In the same way, there are glass windows of buildings that run from southwest to northwest in Chuo-ku and Minato-ku at various angles.

It is wonderful because the morning sunlight is reflected from here and there one after another.

For example, the MORI tower at Greenhills in Atago, about 2600 meters west-northwest, reflects the morning sun strongly.

I did it. It is a dazzling building in the center on the other side of Hamarikyu Gardens in the photo below. The light of the garden

It was also seen on the sea surface in front of me.

This time, we could see a straight line reflected light on the opposite bank in the southwest direction. This is Park Shibaura Building.

If the walls of the building are flat, the entire surface will glow, but this wall will shine in a straight line like a tea tube.

It's because it's a cylindrical surface.

The strange thing is that the light reflected on the sea surface is not a straight line.

Of course, the sea level is horizontal. Even if there is a small wave, the reflected light will exude.

Also, look good. The shape reflected on the sea surface is "Reverse Hatenamark".

But is it not always this mark...? ・What is it?

  The southwest quay of Harumi Wharf is for government ships. 

By noon, the sun from the south illuminates the other side of the ship, and this side becomes shaded. 

However, as the sun shines on this side of the ship like a cousin early in the morning, it looks beautiful.

By the way, on the left is the Fisheries Agency's fishery research vessel "Teryomaru" (2,214 tons, 87,6 meters, completed in May 1998),

On the right is the large training ship "Seiunmaru" (5,890 tons, 116m, completed in September 1997) at the Navigation Training Center.

As you see, you have a dream!   In the foreground is a fire boat of the coastal fire department.

This is the total glass construction of the cruise ship terminal at Harumi Wharf. It is shining in the morning sun.

We welcome those who go on a boat trip and overseas customers who have visited Tokyo.

A variety of Ceremo 2 meetings will also be held.

When I passed the Rainbow Bridge, I saw this, and I felt, "Oh, I came back to Tokyo."
