Tokyo 東京 - 5-15 Roppongi Hills Top View

Tokyo, Japan

wish i had more time up there. after a few panoramic shots from the vantange point of top floor of Mori Tower @ Roppongi Hills, i decided to use the telescopic lens to pick out interesting shaped buildings. this is a nearby small apartment complex. most likely built by the family that owns the plot. it's nice to see people so dedicated to putting some green in the middle of a sprawling metropolis, and the terraced levels gives off a Hanging Gardens vibe ala Sid Meier's Civilization.


other sizes: small medium original auto

It's a shame there's not more roof space used so well in crowded cities. Especially since so much green space is removed. If current trends continue, we'll all wish we'd done more things like this. I like this shot, it made me think. Among the things that makes a good photo. Thanks!
