I had two things I wanted to do when I went up on the observatory deck and the roof of Mori Tower, Roppongi Hills. First, I wanted to see the hospital building I stayed from December to January. I saw Mori Tower from there every day. The second thing I wanted to do is to take a photo of Ichinohashi Junction of Metropolitan Expressway from above. So here it is. The main subject of this shot is not Tokyo Tower, mind you.

“Tokyo Drift” daytime trial Day 2. I visited Daiba last Monday. On my way there, I took Shuto Expressway for trying an ND400 filter again. I wanted to shoot this Junction, and Rainbow Bridge. This one is the former.

I didn’t intend to include the tail lamps of the passing truck. It glanced off my hair, and frightened me.
