Nice shots hkskyline, I've never made it up to the World Trade Center's observatory. I spend a decent amount of time in the Dentsu Building in Shiodome and the view appears to be about the same. You're right about the winter smog - it's the best time of year for skyline shots, with the exception of the day after an October/November typhoon. Those days are always glorious.

xzmattzx, basically all expressways in Japan are toll roads. And they aren't cheap either!
