Tokyo's Tetris buildings
Lens: Sigma 17-70 Photo Location: Suidobashi, Tokyo ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/250s 
Posted By: mickey, 07-20-2013, 01:58 PM

I edited this photo of Tokyo to try and give it a film-type look.
Tokyo is without doubt one of the most interesting cities in the world, but also one of the ugliest.
I read about the term "tetris housing" to describe the way which buildings look like they're slotted in to small spaces, which is evident towards the middle of the frame.
The eyesore poking out of the concrete is called Sky Tree and is a popular tourist destination...I've never even bothered to go there, especially when there's a beautiful park around the corner.
Thanks for looking.

Aye the PP looks almost 60's film print.

Just imagine the number of people jammed in that small amount of space.
