To Tokyo Tower

"I'm just following my nose."




So last week I walked out of my apartment not sure of where I was going. I had just recently bought an Olympus camera ("mu" 850 SW) had charged the battery and was anxious to use it. As I was walking, my attention was drawn toward this tall, orange tower. That Eiffel guy would be proud of how the Japanese copied the Eiffel tower and built one in the heart of Tokyo. I figured that it wasn't too far away and I could, at least, figure out where I was headed, so off I went. When I got there, there were some people but not a large crowd. I did count the baseball caps I saw there (1 Yankee, 1 Red Sock, 1 Chicago Cub) but the plethora of people I was expecting to contend with had chosen a different venue on this day. The tower itself looks rather nice; the orange paint was fresh and clean and I found myself enjoying the structure and curves. The weather, which had more than a little to do with the lack of people at the tower was very cloudy. I thought about taking a ride to the top of the tower, but thought better of getting a bird's eye view of clouds. Besides, the view from the ground was just fine.




A fine bit of construction and a tower that, in spite of its color is a splendid attraction to visit!
I'll have more 'adventures' to relate shortly. First I have one more pic of the top of the tower. I can't seem to upload it to this post so I'll have to create a separate post.
