A mind-blowing sunset and cloud formation from the roof of Roppongi Hills and, as I said when I posted it on Flickr, I love that the six people watching are all so different, but all enjoying the same spectacular view:

This was taken from the “Sky Deck” of the Mori Tower at Roppongi Hills - if you haven’t been, I highly recommend it on any clear day you are in Tokyo. You have an almost 360° view of the city and it really gives you a sense of scale and scope; and you are outside with the wind blowing, so it is very different from the enclosed observation decks and high rise or office building views throughout the city. If it’s a really clear day, you can see Mt. Fuji.
