It's cloudy today, but visibility is pretty good. The recent poor visibility seems to be due to yellow sand. This is the Skytree from the Sumida River.

The skills test took place yesterday on the final day. There was no queue. If I hadn't pressed the shutter a little earlier (the train was moving) the bottom of the sky tree wouldn't have been captured.

This is the Skytree this morning. The dismantling and removal of the cranes will begin today. They will start with the large crane on the right. It is a climbing crane. The base of the pillars will be removed like a Daruma doll and the tree will be lowered. In the next photo taken at noon, the tree has already lowered.

Compare this to the previous photo (9:26). You can see that the crane on the right is lowered. It is about 10m lower.
