Tokyo River Night Aerial Countdown Timer

This is Tokyo from a high window at night, looking down the Sumida towards the bay, and the river is the only dark thing in the entire frame. Everything else is light, stacked and layered and reflected, buildings on both banks glowing in orange and green and white, and a bridge in the middle distance lit up like a circuit board in green and blue. The reflections on the water are long and straight because the river is moving slowly and the exposure was long enough to smooth it out. I could not hear anything from up here, which is the strange part. A city this size makes a constant noise at street level and none of it reaches you at this height, so you watch a hundred thousand people moving around down there and it happens in complete silence, like a film with the sound off. A boat with one light on it moved up the middle of the river, slowly, and left a thin wake that stayed visible for a long time. I watched it until it went under the bridge and did not come out the other side.
