Tokyo Tower, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, was built in 1958 and at 323 meters, it is 13 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower. We only went to the first observation deck (the first thick white stripe on the tower). Next time we'll go to the very top deck. Nevertheless, the view was incredible. Buildings as far as the eye can see.
It was only fitting to capture a construction site in the background. Alex can name almost any constuction machine from backhoe loaders to articulated dumptrucks.
That's a cemetary on the top left and a yellow tour bus on the right. I'm only 150 or so meters high at this point.
This is no-fear Mark taking a crawl of faith over the glass floor.

Katya and her green coat. 8 million people in the city and I bet I could spot her anywhere.
Just to the right of center is Mt. Fuji way off in the background. Trust me.
No Mickey Mouse or SpongeBob Squarepants at the Tokyo Tower. Just Noppon the loveable, huggable, plush broadcast antenna.
Even more to come.
Sounds like my Lucas and Alex are two peas-in-a-pod when it comes to construction vehicles. :)
ReplyDeleteMe and my fear of heights are going to go throw up now.
ReplyDeleteI so want to meet the plush antenna.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome and scary. I'd be freaking out with the floor window.
