Good morning. It's sunny today with a temperature of 9 degrees.
It's a warm, spring-like day. The air is a little less clear. This morning, I took a photo of the sky trees over the river and the highway on the way across the Sumida River on the Sobu Line from Asakusabashi Station to Ryogoku. The photo is a good angle.

The four cranes, large and small, waiting to start work on the Sky Tree as seen from above the Sumida River are beautifully symmetrical. Please enlarge the photo to see it.

Just before Ryogoku Station across the Sumida River, you can see the Skytree over the Kokugikan Sumo Hall. The tall building next to it is Docomo.

This is the Skytree seen through the gap between the Alka Central Building and the Alka Kit Building just before Kinshicho Station. The photo was taken handheld while driving, so it's a bit blurry.

This is the sky tree before arriving at Kameido Station. The Sobu Line rapid train runs next to me, but it passes by frequently and there are often shadows in the buildings, so it's hard to get a good shot.

This is the usual photo taken from the roof of our company. The view is quite different from the first one from the Sumida River. It has rotated more than 90 degrees.

In this photo, you can see two workers on the Gain Tower Antenna scaffolding. Zoom in to find them.

On the left side, at the tip of the crane, in the gain tower area, several workers are working on a ring-shaped frame. (Try to enlarge the image.)

Work has begun on attaching exterior wall panels to the steel exterior of the Skytree main body above the second observation deck.
