Landmark Tower at dusk

I’ve been to the top of Yokohama’s Landmark Tower before, as I know some readers of my blog have. This is the first time I’ve been up late in the afternoon, catching the views as the sun sets.

I wasn’t the only one with a camera and, like many others, I spent most of my time on the west side, watching the sun disappear behind low clouds and looking out over to Mt Fuji. It’s easy to see why Fuji is so iconic, with its symmetrical outline and standing as it does at some distance from other mountains.

Eastwards, the view (complete with reflections from the glass windows in the photo below) was over the harbour. The lights were just coming on in the city, including the big wheel and the other rides in the amusement park.
