This is the year in Los Angeles that Blade Runner occurs, but if you come to Tokyo today, you'll get a pretty good feel for the future of cityscapes 10 years hence elsewhere... Had the good fortune to hookup yet again (third time now) with good Flickr bud techmeister. His business brings him out this way every month or so, so we've been hooking up regularly. Rather than drag him yet *again* to my Tequila jaunt (Agave!), decided to try something a little different. This time took him to the top of the Atago Hills office building for a 5-star Kaiseki dinner (very traditional style Japanese cuisine), along with 5-star views ;-) Non-HDR shot taken with my trusty point-n-shoot Lumix from our *table* in the corner of the restaurant. Tokyo, Japan.
