Al 45 jaar lang is Bloemsierkunst Dorpmans een begrip in Pernis. Eigenaar Koos Dorpmans begon in 1980 met zijn zaak, in hetzelfde pand waar hij vandaag de dag nog steeds tussen de bloemen staat. “Een bloem is mijn leven,” zegt hij met een glimlach.

Om misstanden als het toeslagenschandaal te voorkomen, wil het kabinet af van de kinderopvangtoeslag. Brancheorganisaties vrezen in het nieuwe stelsel prijsstijgingen en toenemende administratieve druk.

One of the primary shots I thought about getting was a skyline shot in Tokyo considering it had quite a few recognizable skyscraper landmarks. But getting a Tokyo skyline photo is not remotely as simple as a New York or LA skyline. First off, there's size: Tokyo's bigger then both prior mentioned cities combined. As a consequence of that there's complication number two: said skyscrapers are spread out over the area, and there are few vantage points. So I had to get high. The Tokyo Skytree was my first option, then it turned into Shibuya Sky, before eventually I just settled on free options. The Toho Cinema Tower observation deck proved more fruitful than the Tokyo Met building (which conveniently is on the direct other side of the buildings you see here).
So while here in the observation deck I had Shinjuku to work with as my coveted skyline. Oddly enough, viewing at this angle looked like I was viewing the classes of society all in one frame. The trains and dry grass at the bottom, the regular tightly bound apartment complexes and shops in the middle (and I guess the cemetery on the right), and the large business towers at the top like the Cocoon Tower, and whatever that other white tower is. It looks like the Atari logo it was such an eyecatcher. (I'm not trying to send a wrong message with this shot by the way, I do wholeheartedly endorse capitalism)
I took a lot of liberties in this one. The two trains are from separate frames, the sky is darker (in my ever growing battle against the accursed plain white sky). I made a couple of building faces darker, but not the lights coming out of em. This is definitely an overcrowded shot, and you can see people below so maybe I can pass this as a street shot as well but only time will tell.
