Tokyo Bay Hanabi

It’s that time of year again…

2009 Tokyo Bay Hanabi from k.blueice on Vimeo.

I’ll upload some photos later, but thought I would put some video up first. This is the first time I’ve really tried using the video feature on the D90, pretty happy with how it went in the end.

Looking north...

Well, north-ish.
The close building is Sea Tower - the other half of our complex (The Tokyo Towers) and the big buildings in the middle are Harumi Triton Square. You can also see Toyosu's Lala Port shopping mall just to the right of them at the end of the bay.
Again, taken from the balcony off our bedroom.

Looking south...

Well, south-ish anyway. This is looking across Tokyo Bay towards Odaiba. Rainbow Bridge is on the right and Haneda Airport is in the background. The foreground is Harumi Pier, or Wharf, I can never remember which.

Came home from work tonight, and there's fireworks out the window. This time of year is pretty neat, it's still not too hot and there is lots of fireworks, the big ones for us are this weekend, right in front of our balcony!
In the foreground is Harumi Triton Square, a big office complex with shops underneath, has some pretty decent restaurants, and some really cool gardens.
