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.

If not for NPR & public radio in general, AM & FM broadcast radio would be completely obsolete.

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.

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 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.[

Stars drawing on the sky while the Earth is rotating around itself. This shot has an exposure of 3180 Seconds which means 53 mins.
This is a natural shot. The circles are natural where the stars at night drew it.
I thought that I imagined the state that a picture of TV flew here steadily such from far away that I would be glad if I was TV.
On December 1, 2012 in Civic Center, Bunkyo ward .
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.

86/100 London landmarks by night
Commenting disabled. Thanks for viewing!
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".

Detail from: ‘Mural for Studio B, WNYC, Municipal Broadcasting Company, 1939’ Stuart Davis. American, 1892-1964

L.65.81
From 1937 to 1939 Davis worked for the mural division of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), one of President Roosevelt’s New Deal programs to help employ artists during the Great Depression. This work was commissioned for New York City’s public radio station, WNYC. To suit such a location, the artist depicted elements associated with music ( a saxophone, clarinet, and musical note) as well as others related to the transmission of sound ( radio antennae, ether waves, and broadcasting equipment).

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.

Tokyo Broadcasting System's news chopper heading out in some lovely late afternoon sunshine. TBS covers the Kantō region and produces the Takeshi's Castle game show, which was shown in the UK.
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.
A decade or so ago, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp) solicited viewer opinions to help them pick the "7 Wonders of Canada". They were deluged; we do appreciate our country. They wanted all regions represented, and some final selections were obvious: Niagara Falls, the Rocky Mountains, Old Québec City. I was happy with the choice that covered the three prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba): Prairie Skies. I could wax eloquent about this phenomenon, but my friend Pam, who lived here for five years - did so recently in an email to me, and I'm sure she won't mind if I quote her directly:
"The skies. They are alive everywhere … but on the prairie, you can see it. Sometimes I see shards of weird configurations and pile-ups and patterns here (on the west coast) — but only when I face such and such a direction from a particular angle. There is always an obstacle, interruption, the gaze brought down to earth.
"That said … there is a whole other quality to air masses pushing over vast stretches of land, different interactions … and being on land, it seems more intimate than the dramas that can play out over the water. On the prairie, turn into a human kite, feet firm, head in the clouds, take to the sky."
Reprocessed image - bigger and better! Not only are a lot of my favourite shots buried in my photostream, but they were processed on a much smaller monitor, to a much smaller upload size. No photo can really do justice to the vast scale of these prairie skies, but bigger is better.
