Emperor’s Palace at Sunset
Tonight I took the evening to go down into Tokyo with my daughter and take some photos together. I wasn’t really expecting much by way of photos to be honest, just happy to spend some time with my little girl. But we were both greeted with a beautiful sunset.

Skytree Silhouette
Having seen a bunch of photos from the Arakawa River in Tokyo, I decided to take a trip down one evening and capture my own shots of the Skytree at dusk. The evening colors were fantastic, and gave me quite a few pictures I enjoy. This one was a very interesting shot though. The buildings were all quite dark already, but I thought it would be interesting to darken them all the way so it...
