Tbilisi TV Broadcasting Tower (Georgian: თბილისის ტელეანძა, tbilisis teleandza) is a free-standing tower structure used for communications purposes. The tower is located in Tbilisi, Georgia and was built in 1972. The preceding structure, built in 1955, was moved to the vicinity of the city of Gori.
The tower is operated by "Georgian Teleradiocenter", that was established 1955. Communication systems on the tower include regular broadcast, MMDS, pager and cellular, commercial TV, and amateur radio repeater. The tower is 274.5 m (901 ft) high on a mountain at 719.2 m (2,360 feet) above sea level.
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.
The N Seoul Tower (엔 서울타워), officially the YTN Seoul Tower, is a communication and observation tower located on the summit of Namsan Mountain in central Seoul, South Korea. Completed in 1971, it was initially a critical broadcasting facility used for radio and television transmission by major Korean media networks, including KBS, MBC, and SBS. It was subsequently opened to the public in 1980, quickly becoming a primary tourist attraction and a central city landmark.
Standing 236.7 meters tall from its base (and 479.7 meters above sea level), the tower provides sweeping, 360-degree panoramic views of the capital, making it a prominent feature of the Seoul skyline. The complex includes several observation decks, gift shops, and dining facilities, such as a revolving restaurant. A popular cultural element of the site is the "locks of love" tradition, where visitors attach padlocks to the perimeter fences as a symbol of affection.
The tower's exterior features an advanced LED lighting system that illuminates the structure at night; the colors sometimes communicate air quality information or mark special events. Visitors can reach the tower by hiking, using a public shuttle bus, or taking the scenic Namsan Cable Car.
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.
Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower in the district of Shiba-koen in Minato, Tokyo, Japan, completed in 1958. At 332.9 m, it was the tallest tower in Japan until the construction of Tokyo Skytree in 2012. It is a lattice tower inspired by the Eiffel Tower, and is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
The tower's main sources of income are tourism and antenna leasing. FootTown, a four-story building directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants, and shops. Departing from there, guests can visit two observation decks. The two-story Main Deck (formerly known as the Main Observatory) is at 150 m, while the smaller Top Deck (formerly known as the "Special Observatory") reaches a height of 249.6 m. The names were changed following renovation of the top deck in 2018. The tower is repainted every five years, taking a year to complete the process.
In 1961, transmission antennae were added. They are used for radio and television broadcasting and now broadcast signals for media outlets such as NHK, TBS Television, and Fuji Television. The height of the tower was not suitable for Japan's planned terrestrial digital broadcasting planned for July 2011, and for the Tokyo area. A taller digital broadcasting tower, known as Tokyo Skytree, was completed on 29 February 2012. Tokyo Tower has become a prominent landmark and frequently appears in media set in Tokyo.
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...

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.

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.

'Algie' - the original Pink Floyd Pig hovering over the piazza at BBC Broadcasting House. This giant inflatable pig was used on the album cover 'Animals'. It was there for an appearance in the One Show. The blotchy, streaky, effect is due to taking the photo through a slightly dirty window. The church is ALL Souls in Langham Place. London. May 2017.
