Moon, Mars and Roppongi Hills

moon mars and roppongi hillsAlthough in photography, it is recommended to simplify the shot as much as possible in order to put in the front the actual subject, I couldn't resist and included those 3 points of interest in this picture:

  • The huge building of Roppongi Hills, which seems to come out from nowhere when seen from the peaceful residential neighborhood of Aoyama
  • The full moon next to it (although overexposed...)
  • and Mars, the little dot next to the moon.

I have to admit that you really have to tell yourself it's the planet Mars to be impressive. Or else, it's just another dot in the sky, among the thousands of stars...
Well, since it comes so close to the Earth only every 60,000 years, I had to see it if I didn't want to sound like a fool ;-)
