"Tokyo Skyline #2" - by Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon, Images Through Glass, Tokyo Tokyo is fortunate in being a fairly windy city, so - for a mega-city with a gazillion cars - the air is often relatively good, or even (sometimes) quite fine. This photo was taken on a day with strong winds, so the air was very clear. The tower on the left is the Roppongi Hills tower, and the red and white tower on the right is Tokyo Tower. You wouldn't know it from this picture, but along with the new towers that have been going up all over the city, they're putting in some live plants at the base of them, so the city has less of an industrial feel to it than it used to.
