Hello all!

juliank@juliank organizes some pretty nice Photo Challenges. Today is the day for Landscape and Cityscape photography. So for the current Cityscape Photography Contest, I'd like to enter with this picture:

Location: Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo, Japan
Camera: Nikon D5300
Lens: VR 18-55
Focal length: 55mm
Aperture: f/5.6
Shutter: 1/13s

So one of my dreams was to visit the Tokyo Skytree, and see the whole city from above. I really love Tokyo, it's a very big and lively city. The Skytree itself is the second tallest building in the world, following the Burj Khalifa. It was built in a region which was called Musashi. The Japanese people love making up things with multiple meaning. In one reading, you could read "mu" "sa" "shi" as 6, 3, 4, hence the height of the tower is 634m. You can visit two different heights, one at 350m and one at 450m.
