Kasai Rinkai Park Sunset I

I wrote about Kasai Rinkai Park in previous posts about a year ago. With the sunsets being so incredible this August, I decided to return again. I rode the giant Ferris Wheel. It is so large, you can easily see it from Google satellite maps here.

I timed my ride so that I left the ground about twenty minutes before sunset. Miraculously, there was no queue. This is incredibly rare in Japan, let alone during a beautiful summer evening.

The views of central Tokyo were amazing, complemented by the colorful sunset. Here is the first of two pictures from my ride. The pictures remind me of sunsets in Los Angeles. The refracting polluted air provides for intense and colorful sunsets.
