Tokyo Tower Purple Dusk Countdown Timer

Tokyo Tower is the wrong colour for a city that mostly deals in grey and glass, which is exactly why it works. It is painted orange and white, international orange they call it, and at dusk, when the sky goes through its purple hour, the tower lights come on and the whole thing turns the colour of a lit match against all that violet. I was up on a rooftop in the Minato district, not far from it, with the city spread out below in a grid of small bright windows and the mountains a dark line on the horizon. What I like about this frame is the gradient. The sky does the whole thing on its own, pink at the bottom, purple in the middle, deep blue at the top, and the tower just stands there being warm in the middle of it. There was a low bank of cloud catching the last of the light and it looked almost red. I had about four minutes before the colour went. I used all of them. Then the sky turned black and the tower became a toy again.
