And additionally because I love tilt-shift. Tokyo would seem to be the perfect city to be filmed in this way.

If you cannot identify the two buildings above you’ve been living under a rock. Both have graced the covers of just about every mainstream magazine and newpaper in the last year, not to mention my own obsession not just with the bird’s nest and watercube pictured above, but also with the CCTV Tower. Architecture in Beijing has been very, very hot with not only a rolodex of high profile architects present, but some incredibly innovative design and use of materials.

Over the last year a favorite blogger, toomanytribbles, has captured stunning images of this new Beijing architecture as it was completed prior to the olympics being hosted in Beijing last summer. You can see more of her work on her Flickr page. The image above was taken by toomanytribbles from the Ling Long Pagoda, and for it she employed the very cool effect called tilt shift. I love it.
