Tokyo Skytree in Tokyo, Japan

Opened in 2012, Tokyo Skytree is a broadcast and observation tower that upon completion instantly became a new symbol for the city of Tokyo, Japan. At 634 metres tall, Tokyo Skytree not only towers above every other structure in Tokyo, it is 2nd in height only to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and is twice as tall as the Eiffel Tower in Paris. 

Tokyo Skytree features two observation decks, the main Tembo Gallery (350 metres) and the top deck Tembo Galleria (450 metres). While the iconic Tokyo Tower offers better views of central Tokyo, the height of Tokyo Skytree offers an unreal, and arguably more dramatic vantage point of the world's largest city. More images from the very top deck here.

A Collage of Tokyo Street Scenes

Some of my favourite shots on any given travel shoot are the random street scenes captured between locations. As my series from around Tokyo, Japan continues to unfold as part of the Overseas collection, in anticipation of the (delayed) 2020 Summer Olympics, I put together this collage to provide a brief overview of some of the releases thus far.

Built for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, the Richmond Olympic Oval in British Columbia is currently a multi-sport arena and showcase of Canadian Olympic history. Originally built to host the speeding skating events at the Vancouver Olympics, the venue has since been reconfigured to house hockey rinks, basketball courts, workout facilities, and the Richmond Olympic Experience.
