Uncharacteristically tidy, post-houseguest-shuffling.

Aleph, which city is that?

I think it might be Hong Kong ? ? ?

I'm fairly sure it's Tokyo. With a bit of time I might even be able to figure out where...

... Got it. The picture was taken from Roppongi Hills, looking towards the Imperial Palace to the north-east. Here is the general location:

Is that photo from the Japanese HDR Flickr pool?

Tokyo it is . . . . Good work Colin.

A few queries in Flickr and I found it again: View from Mori Tower

Excellent taste in wallpaper, Gringo.

Mystery solved. Thanks!

@fuldog: Yeah, such a great picture.

Usually my wallpapers change weekly, but I think this one'll stay for a while.

moved desks yesterday, so a photo was in order.

Taken from here, (the "West Shinjuku KS Building"), edit: or possibly Tokyo City Hall on the west end of the Shinjuku skyscraper district, looking south-west towards "Tokyo Opera City Tower" (the tall white one). The three rather distinctly-roofed towers in front are the Tokyo Park Hyatt hotel (which was how I recognized it-- not that I've ever been inside, mind you).

I'm getting pretty good at this Tokyo skyline identification game, I think.

You are good at it . . .

If you turned a bit to the right and looked down (waaay down), you could probably see the hotel I stayed in for a month or so in early 2005, while working in a building that would be a block or two away behind you.

oh and the acd with attendant rd2 box, how I loathe thee.....

Are those baby pics from workmates, GR? The office 'bonding-via-photos' tactic seems to be in full force, from what I've seen and heard around...
