Tokyo alone boasts some of the country's most marvelous architecture, mainly found in city areas of Shibuya, Omotesando, Shinjuku, Roppongi amongst others. It's almost as if each building is out to outdo each other, and the result is an incredible spectacle of textures that decorate the modern, picturesque cityscape. Walking around, I personally felt that the best way to appreciate the grandiose of these fine works of architecture is to stand in front of them and look upwards, soaking the majesty of it that looms over our head. 'Tokyo Textures' present some of these works of art.

These photos are simply breathtaking! I kept looking at them for 5 minutes!
Thanks for your kind words Olga! It's only thanks to all the amazing architecture around Tokyo that I was able to photograph it in its skyward glory!
