Tokyo Skytree is a new broadcasting tower of 684m built in an eastern part of downtown Tokyo. This is a southwestward view from Skytree showing relatively old parts of Tokyo. The red tower in the left is the old broadcasting facility called Tokyo Tower, which is 333m.
The river in the photo is the Sumigadagawa (隅田川). Edo (江戸) or old Tokyo was developed along this river in the 17th century as the capital for a Samurai government called Tokugawa Bakufu (徳川幕府). The period ruled by the Tokugawa Bakufu from 1603 to 1868 is called Edo Period (江戸時代).
Dark green area surrounded by high-rise buildings above the Sumidagawa is the Imperial Palace (皇居) that used to be Edo Castle (江戸城), from which Tokugawa Shogun ruled Japan.
Meiji Restoration in 1868 renamed Edo to Tokyo, and Tokyo started to expand westward under the new constitutional monarchy styled after Europe to reach the Tamagawa river and further beyond into the Kanagawa prefecture. Tokyo also expanded northward into the Saitama prefecture, eastward into the Chiba prefecture and southward into Tokyo Bay by reclaiming the sea. These areas are collectively called Greater Tokyo Area. It has a radius of 40-50km, in which 30 million people live.
Shinjuku where the metropolitan government office is located is in the extreme upper-right. Takaosan should be somewhere above Shinjuku. This photo does not show the entire downtown of Tokyo.
Tokyo Skytree Tōkyō Sukaitsurī is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 metres in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the second tallest structure in the world after Burj Khalifa.
The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012.
The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station, and the complex is only 7 km north-east of Tokyo Station.

The BBC building in Queen's Gardens is a thriving broadcasting hub for the BBC's television, radio and interactive TV services etc,
Once again we are at Lake Shuswap where we are frequently privy to some amazing sunsets. I have an "old haunt" picked out that gives me direct access to the far mountains, and the setting sun during summer. Again, mother nature delivered her finest and I captured a few images.
The next night we shared the sunset and enjoyed a late dinner on the beach. The sky can be as entertaining as any tv show, as scenes change with each passing moment. Every night channel NBS delivered award winning entertainment that we enjoyed from the comfort of our chairs.
The Fernsehturm (English: Television Tower) in central Berlin was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the government of the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany, as both a functional broadcasting facility and a symbol of Communist power.
It remains a landmark today from its position next to Alexanderplatz in the city's Marien Quarter, part of the district of Mitte, visible across most suburban districts of Berlin.[1] With its height of 368 metres (1207') (including antenna) it is the tallest structure in Germany, and the third-tallest structure in the European Union. When built it was the fourth-tallest freestanding structure in the world after the Ostankino Tower, the Empire State Building and 875 North Michigan Avenue, then known as The John Hancock Center.[
Of the four tallest structures in the EU, it is 2 metres (6') shorter than the Torreta de Guardamar, 0.5 metres (2') shorter than the Riga Radio and TV Tower, and 8 metres (30') taller than the Trbovlje Power Station in 2017. The structure is also more than 220 metres (720') higher than the old Berlin Radio Tower in the western part of the city, which was built in the 1920s.
In addition to its main function as the location of several radio and television transmitters, the building – internally known as "Fernmeldeturm 32" – serves as a viewing tower with observation deck including a bar at a height of 203 metres (666'), as well as a rotating restaurant. Also, the Berlin TV Tower can be booked as a venue for events. The distinctive city landmark has undergone a radical, symbolic transformation: After German reunification, it changed from a politically charged, national symbol of the GDR into a citywide symbol of a reunited Berlin. Due to its universal and timeless design, it has increasingly been used as a trademark and is identified worldwide with Berlin and Germany. In 1979, the Berlin TV Tower received monument status by the GDR, a status which was perpetuated after the German reunification.

I watched this last night on Channel 6 - Arizona Public Media.
The narrator said words to the effect that: Life is like a recipe with bitter and sweet, and that's what makes it delicious.

The Tokyo Skytree is a broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. Standing at 634 meters, it is the tallest structure in Japan and the second tallest in the world. The Skytree serves as a major tourist attraction, offering breathtaking views of Tokyo and beyond.
At 350 meters, the Tembo Deck provides a stunning 360-degree panoramic view of Tokyo. The deck is surrounded by large glass panels, allowing visitors to see up to 70 kilometers away on clear days. The Tembo Deck also features a café, souvenir shops, and a glass floor section where you can look straight down to the ground below.
At 450 meters, the Tembo Galleria is a tubular, glass-enclosed walkway that spirals up from floor 445 to floor 450. It gives visitors the sensation of walking in the sky. The highest point, known as Sorakara Point, is at 451.2 meters and offers breathtaking views of the city. The Tembo Galleria also includes high-resolution digital telescopes and commemorative photo spots.
Visiting these attractions is a unique experience, offering breathtaking views of Tokyo's beauty and vastness from great heights.

This was a rather impromptu little long exposure taken on my phone from the 2nd floor of New Broadcasting House, looking over the piazza towards All Soul's church.
Rather than use a tripod to stabilise the 1 minute exposure time (using the incredible 'Even Longer' app), I just pressed my phone up against the window with my hand and held it there for a minute! This is the only way of capturing the piazza without lots of people in it as it's always busy ...
In some parts of the world agricultural practices have not changed for thousands of years. This photo, taken in the Iranian deserts near Hamedan shows a farmer scattering (broadcasting) seed by hand over his land.
Broadcasting House, Leeds. It’s won various national and international Architecture awards, and is a building that divides opinion. One thing I’m certain of is that the designer didn’t account for Peregrine Falcons nesting on the side of it...
Broadcasting live around the world,
On the air in every land, on every frequency,
Across the surface of the earth,
To the furthest reach, this is our live transmission.

This is a natural shot. The circles are natural where the stars at night drew it.
The new building on the site of the old Egton House. It's not as big as I thought it was going to be... I thought it was supposed to be a big, full-size mirror of the old building.
Broadcasting House is the headquarters of the BBC, in Portland Place and Langham Place, London. The first radio broadcast from the building was made on 15 March 1932, and the building was officially opened two months later, on 15 May. The main building is in Art Deco style, with a facing of Portland stone over a steel frame. It is a Grade II* listed building and includes the BBC Radio Theatre, where music and speech programmes are recorded in front of a studio audience.
The head of BBC history, Robert Seatter, has said George Orwell in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), "reputedly based his notorious Room 101 from the novel "on a room he had worked in whilst at the BBC."
In 1985 it was revealed by The Observer that MI5 had had a special office in the building from 1937 for the purpose of vetting BBC employees for national security purposes.

I tried the photography that combined a magnifying glass with #extrabokeh on that day. My camera bag becomes bigger.
By the way, the pictures with the magnifying glass, I named it #glassporthole.
On March 31, 2015, it is Shinjuku, the Roppongi area at Nerima government office.

After the visit to the cat cafe we decided to make our way to Battersea, walking back a slightly different route to Oxford Circus to catch the Tube. I was surprised to pass these London landmarks.
This shows the exterior of Broadcasting House, the headquarters of the BBC in London.
A new East wing, built in the same Portland stone as the original Broadcasting House, balances the existing construction. The two buildings are linked by a glass-fronted extension, allowing visitors and passers-by to witness the BBC's daily activities. The glass was specially treated to create varied lighting effects throughout the day.
An integrated lighting scheme for the site also embraces the neighbouring All Souls' Church. The Broadcasting House complex surrounds a new central 'piazza' space, a new public destination in central London, with facilities including a cafe and performance area. (From BBC.com)
The main building was refurbished, and an extension built to the rear. The radio stations BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra and the BBC World Service transferred to refurbished studios within the building. The extension links the old building with the John Peel Wing, and includes a new combined newsroom for BBC News, with studios for the BBC News channel, BBC World News and other news programming. The move of news operations from BBC Television Centre was completed in March 2013. The official name of the building is "Broadcasting House" but the BBC, until 2024, used the term "new Broadcasting House" (with a lowercase 'n') in its publicity referring to the new extension rather than the whole building, with the original building known as "old Broadcasting House".

Took a run over to Leeds today for an event on the opening of a building, across the road is a building that I did the concept and scheme design for before moving onto another project. This is an part shot of the teaching space for Leeds Met University which is in the process of being clad.
This shows some of the newer Cor-Ten panels which have yet to weather in in contrast to some of those that have already weathered in and got their rusty colour.
