A nice crisp image that really shows off Umeda well. A lovely image.

I can imagagine to see this image on a title of a magazine. Is it shot in the morning because of the light and the mist on the horizon?

@Lucca: Thx Lucca! This was taken just after sunset.

Nice, dude. Is that a wide angle lens being shown off or did you do some post production stitching? That's got to be that building with the gaping void in the middle and that sexy escalator 7/8 of the way up, hasn't it? If not, you've done a splendid job cleaning the outside of the windows AND taking a shot of Osaka.

PS 'Sunset'? You're in Japan, buddy...where there is only rumour and inuendo about sunsets. ;)

@Sash: Right on all counts Sashimi "Dirty Sanchez" Boy. This is 2 shots stitched, taken from the Umeda Sky Bldg. Re those alleged sunsets here in Japan, I raced to get to this bldg in time but just missed the Sun going down. Was severely pissed.
