Today was overcast and a little foggy. A perfect day to go to Shinjuku and take some pictures of the Metropolitan Government building. Designed by Kenzo Tange in 1991 it's one of my favourite buildings in Tokyo. It looks so gothic on a dark day. I decided to shoot B&W in camera with a red filter effect.

I would have loved to have stayed around longer until after dark to get more pics, but 2 things stopped me...

1: I went there with a friend (call me anti-social, but if you're taking pics it's better to do it alone in my opinion.)

2: They serve beer on the 45th floor (alcohol and motivation do not go hand in hand.)

moonunit80 These are beautiful shots. I think the b&w was a good choice. It brings out the real city feel.
