Dreaming of heading back to Tokyo. Been to long with the Pandemic. Such a never ending treasure trove of the endless to the minute. A few of my shots from over the years there. The first is a wet shiny night at Shibuya crossing, one of the busiest in the world.

The next shot is looking North towards Tokyo Tower (332.9 metres or 1,092 ft). At the time of construction in 1958 Tokyo Tower was the tallest freestanding tower in the world, taking the title from the Eiffel Tower by 13 metres.

The third is the door to the emperors’ palace.

The final shot is a small part of Tokyo. Depending on where you draw the boundaries there are between 9 million and 38 million people living in Tokyo. The population of the special inner wards is over 9 million people, with the total population of Tokyo prefecture coming in over 13 million. When combined with the surrounding areas the prefecture forms part of the world's most populous metropolitan area of 37.8 million people.
