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.
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.

Public Broadcasting System's Halifax: Retribution: S1 - Episode 8
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.

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 ...
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.
Broadcasting Tower is a university building in Broadcasting Place in Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, England. It houses the Faculty of Arts, Environment and Technology, while the main tower section consists of student flats.
It was designed by Stirling Prize-winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley. It is clad in COR-TEN weathering steel, which has given it the rust-like appearance it is known for.[

I love landscape photographs. But sometimes I feel the need to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.
After all, it's the FEAR and UNCERTAINTY that keep us going.
I came across an article on long exposure architectural photography not along ago and I found it really interesting. I like good architecture and I thought I would try it out.
This is the Leeds Broadcasting Tower, part of the Leeds Beckett University. You're not alone if you're thinking along the line of radio or TV broadcasting. I don't think it actually does any of that. It was awarded the Best Tall Building In The World in 2010 by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
Post-Processing
The image was taken with the camera pointing straight up to the sky. I used separate exposures for the building and the sky. The Formatt Hitech Firecrest 16 (ND16) really helped to get the motion blur for the clouds during bright daylight. Post-processed with luminosity masks in Photoshop and Nik SIlver Efex Pro.
Thanks for visiting and have a nice day ! =)
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.
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". (From Wikipedia)
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.

According to Wikipedia, there are no fewer than 40 radio studios and 17 television studios inside. All your favourite BBC radio programs and news channels are recorded here by the looks of it.

The King Edward Hotel (also known as the "King Eddy") was built in phases between 1905 and 1910 and housed one of Calgary's oldest bars. It closed its doors in 2004. In 2013, crews started the tedious task of taking the century-old hotel apart brick by brick to preserve them while they reassembled the structure.
The National Music Centre, including the rebuilt King Edward Hotel, opened in 2016. The NMC includes performance spaces, recording studios, broadcasting facilities and an extensive collection of artifacts including the Canada Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. In 2018 the King Edward Hotel reopened as a permanent live music venue with a restaurant and bar. The building also houses CKUA Calgary, the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, other NMC recording facilities, and NMC’s offices.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Theodore Tugboat is a Canadian children's television series about a tugboat named Theodore who lives in the Big Harbour with all of his friends. The show originated (and is set) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada as a co-production between the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), and the now defunct Cochran Entertainment, and was filmed on a model set using radio controlled tugboats, ships, and machinery. Production of the show ended in 2001, and its distribution rights were later sold to Classic Media (now DreamWorks Classics). The show premiered in Canada on CBC Television, then went to PBS (Public Broadcasting Service), was on Qubo in the United States, and has appeared in eighty different countries.
The show deals with life learning issues portrayed by the tugs or other ships in the harbour. Most often, the tugs have a problem, or get involved in a struggle with each other or another ship, but they always manage to help one another resolve these problems and see them through. Their main focus however, is to always make the Big Harbour the friendliest harbour in the world, and to always do a good job with their work related tasks.
Theodore is the title character who lives in the Big Harbour with all of his friends. He's one of the smaller tugs who wears a red baseball cap, and is sometimes offended if someone calls him "cute" or "small". He and his closest friend Hank are the only two harbour tugs (tugs that are not yet eligible to work outside harbour boundaries). They both share the harbour tug side of the dock and love working together. He's a kind little tugboat that is always friendly to the other ships in the harbour, with the goal of befriending everyone he meets. His biggest dream is to become an ocean tug and to travel across the sea to different harbours, but before he does, he works as hard as he can to make the Big Harbour the friendliest harbour in the world. That's why he is always there whenever someone needs him.
Excerpt from marinetraffic.com:
THEODORE TOO (IMO: 8956425) is a Tug that was built in 2000 (21 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Canada.
Her length overall (LOA) is 19.81 meters and her width is 7 meters.
