From an Observation Lobby 展望ロビーより

There is a high-rise building with an observation lobby open to the public on its highest twentieth floor about 1.6 kilometers or one mile away from my home. I went up there with my camera ten days ago. It was not the best day as the air was not very clear maybe because there was not enough wind, but a couple of photos are shown here.
The tall buildings in the Shinjuku business district are seen in the first photo. Our house is somewhere to the left of the photo, almost surrounded by medium size buildings. Most of those structures are condominiums; the land use of this western part of Tokyo is primarily residential.

The high-rises in the central business district of Tokyo and neighboring sectors with sprawling large offices are in second photo. A unique round structure at the center is a water tank for water supply.

１０日ほど前になりますが、家からちょっと離れたところにある展望ロビーにカメラを持って行ってみました。一枚目は、新宿方面を見たところで、中央あたりのマンションの列の近く、左の端のほうに家があります。二枚目は、一枚目の左の都心方向を見たところで、中央にある円形のものは、「水の塔」と呼ばれている水道の給水タンクです。その手前の木立は、昔は結核療養所があったところです。現在は宅地として整地中で、数年後にはマンションが建つでしょう。
