　　　　It is colored with plum blossoms and canola flower on the back of the Shiodome buildings.

Introducing Diamond Fuji seen from the southernmost part of Chuo-ku.

It seems that the best time to see it is around 6.7 days than the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Carrot Tower, but it was reported in newspapers that the sun from St. Luke's Tower was slightly higher than the left.　　　　　　

　　　　　　　In Chuo-ku, clouds fell short of sunset on February 8 (Monday) and became "Kasafuji".

　　　　　　　This is also interesting depending on the point of view ... but unfortunately!

　　　　　　　I was able to capture the silhouette of the building.

　　　　　It had been sunny since the morning of February 9 (Tuesday), but it became cloudy in the afternoon.

　　　　　But after 5:00 p.m. the clouds disappeared and the sun appeared.

　　　　　It's still a bit left, but it's somehow fit in the camera.

　　　　　At that moment, the sun looked bright and big.

　　　　　　The sun went down shortly after being moved.

　　　　　　　I was looking forward to February 10 and 11 (Wednesday / Thursday), but as the weather forecast, it will not be cloudy or rainy.

　　　　　　　I can't catch the sun (Diamond Fuji) that rides directly above Mount Fuji.

　　　　　　　It was the best Diamond Fuji.　I'll try again next year.　Gomennasai~~~~

13,500 tons of the Marine Self Defense Force's supply ship "Mashu" and 4,550 tons of the escort ship "Ikazuchi", which has been engaged in refueling and supplying water to foreign ships developing "fighting against terrorism" in the Indian Ocean (off Somaliya, etc.). Returned to Harumi Wharf on the morning of the 6th.

 　　　　　　13,500 tons of "Mashu" dive the Rainbow Bridge and pointed the bow to Harumi Wharf.

　　　　　　It is a tugboat that sticks to the side.

             The tugboat pushes a large ship in a narrow place to operate skillfully.

　　　　　        Next, 4,550 tons of the escort ship "Ikazuchi" came in.

　　　　　　　"Ikazuchi" ... At Kojien, there was an explanation that "Ikazuchi" = lightning".

 　　　　　"Mashu" turns further and approaches the quay in front of you.

　　　　　I can't see the tugboat, but I'm slowly pushing it from the port side (the other side).

　　　　　On the other side, 4,550 tons of "Ikazuchi" pass slowly.　

　　　　　The quay is home to stakeholders such as welcome families.
