Morning and night in Kachidoki where you can see the landmark tower in the clear air 

[Yurikamome] December 28, 2011 15:00

I could see Yokohama Landmark Tower reflecting the morning sun from Chuo-ku in early morning. It's a building that shines vertically across ridgeline on the left side of the Teppen on the pillar of the Rainbow Bridge in front.

The sun sank in the mountains of Tanzawa, and the buildings on the ground glowed. In the sky, which retains its blueness, the thin crescent moon and the evening star are shining.

If you look more closely, the contour lines are also shining in the dark part of the crescent moon. The color gradation that follows blue, white, yellow, orange, vermilion, red, and black from the top reminds us of Hiroshige's ukiyo-e. I think it's finished well today.

Looking west, the Tokyo Tower stands sharply down overlooking the area. This color scheme of the tower is a design of normal times.           2011_1227 twilight Tokyo Tower Photo 06.JPG

 However, on Christmas Eve the other day, I was dressed in fashionable costumes as shown in the photo below.

It's getting darker. The lighting of the Rainbow Bridge has also increased its brightness. At the government pier at Harumi Wharf in the foreground, a four-mast sailing ship "Kaiomaru" stretched a light bulb on the mast to enhance its presence.
