Today's Skytree is from the Sumida River in front of Ryogoku Station on the Sobu Line. The left bank of the Sumida River is a beautifully maintained park. The view from here must be wonderful.
The Metropolitan Expressway Route 6 runs along the left bank. At the end of the expressway, on the far left, you can see the golden Asahi Beer headquarters building and the famous fireball object. On the opposite bank, on the left, is Asakusa.

It's cloudy today, 13℃, but the sun is shining. It definitely feels like spring.

The crane is hanging something white. It looks like a gondola that carries and pours cement.

It's been a while since I've seen workers working at Gain Tower. There are two of them.

I changed my lens today. I usually use a 600mm telephoto lens, but today I used a 1000mm Cassegrain lens that I used before.
I officially got the digital camera attachment yesterday.
Since it is higher than 600mm, the image is larger. However, since it is a reflective optical system, the image is sharp. I took a series of photos from the top of the Gain Tower.

No.A gondola has been hanging out on the outer wall to the left of the observation deck since last week. It looks like they're doing some work.
