反薄明光線 Anticrepuscular rays

西の空に太陽が沈んでた時、東の空がこんな風景！なんで？東だよ？なんだろうこのミステリアスな現象ーって写真撮りながら思ってたけどさっきグーグル先生に教えてもらったのー　
「反薄明光線」っていうらしい！

Today's eastern sky at sunset time. I saw this a number of times in my life but coming from the west while sun is disappearing behind a cloud but this one coming from the east puzzled me today! Some googling led me to a phenomena called "Anticrepuscular rays".

The Last November 2008 post~ I'm gonna miss this month!
Introducing today's photos . (Stay cool, no Fuji san this time w )

Very thin nice crescent against nice colors

Well I tried to include fuji san, but I couldn't see it due to clouds..besides, it was extremely cold.

As you know winter is coming...See you next spring! :p

Me is Fujisan loves!

Another unforgettable sunset

I've just enjoyed a very beautiful scene..
Fuji san against the autumn sunset sky~

Thanks to the lodge's 7th floor !

....I think that there is no camera that is better than one's own eyes. I took many pictures but no one could deliver the scene the way I saw it... (―、―;)
Enjoy!

Tokyo from 250m above ground level

Yesterday was a perfect clear weather. So I decided to go to Tokyo tower for the first time.
Tokyo tower is the highest building in Tokyo.
Actually I feel ashamed of saying "for the first time" since I am already here for more than half a year. ^^;

Clear weather = High probability of seeing Fujisan
It was around 2:30 PM when I arrived there. The view of Tokyo from above was amazing, but it was very bright that mountains weren't very clear.

Roppongi hills and Shinjuku in the far background

Rainbow Bridge and Fuji TV building(The one with the shiny ball)


Nice feeling

Autumn colors

But at last I was able to enjoy seeing Mount Fuji for about 10 mintues. It only appeared at sunset time. I enjoyed the most beautiful sunset I ever saw in my life.. The sun hiding behind mount Fuji with a whole spectrum of sunset colors.. It can't be described by words..

The VERY sad fact is that by sunset time, my Camera's battery was already dead... I really felt sooo frustrated!! T_T But I could take some shots by my sooo-uncool-mobile camera .. hope it delivers at least a small part of the idea.. (The last 4 pictures)

This was the last picture I could take before my camera died.. If I just saved some battery power..just for 5 more minutes!! I would have been able to take high quality pics of the sunset Fuji...T_T

Tower at night

By the way I can see the upper part of Tokyo tower from my room.

A tree turning red, Roppongi hills and the upper part of Tokyo Tower

Until next time..

Wonderful fall-colored sunset

Today was my first lab meeting presentation. Thank God, It went way too smoothly.
Now its 4:20AM . You might wonder why am I still awake until now. But the truth is that I woke up 1 hour ago ^^;
Today I came back home at 5:00PM and slept all the time until now. I was very busy preparing for my presentation so last night I only slept 2 hours.. that's why I allowed my poor self to sleep until now.

Soon it will be the time for 紅葉(もみじ/こうよう = Autumn Leaves) .. I would love it if I can do some 紅葉見（？）ｗ .
Actually these are times of the year that one wishes to go to Kyoto!!

Anyway, here are some pictures I took for today's sunset. It was really nice beyond words..

Sunset time colors
