Post-Typhoon Clarity
July 16th, 2007
There’s a beautiful view out there right now. Visibility is easily 40-50km. If the Toyota building weren’t blocking the view, Mt. Fuji would be clear and sharp. I can see the mountains on either side clearly. But perhaps as good an indicator of distance is the image above. Note the mountain line behind the Kasai Rinkai ferris wheel. That’s on the Chiba peninsula, across Tokyo Bay and beyond Makuhari. That’s pretty good visibility, especially for the summer. It’s a crisp, clean day out there. Maybe the humidity and heat will return, but right now it’s really nice.
Yesterday afternoon, after the typhoon had veered off (we didn’t really get too much rain), we got some interesting views, with the interesting light and cloud arrangements.
