PL Tower
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 23 April 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.
If you ever head out to Tondabayashi in Osaka, you can't help but notice this... Headquarters of the Church of Perfect Liberty.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

It looks like a painting! I would have liked the tower a little on the right.

@Behrooz: Yeah, I hear you Behrooz. This was snapped out of the window of a car passing by so was my best opportunity... no time to frame etc. Took loads that were no good at all. I removed some digital camera noise which gives it that weird painting look.
@badala: Thank you badala!
@Inès: It's a pretty amazing building Ines! Looks to me like it's built of papier mache. Or built by giant ants. From space.
@DTW: It's not a part of Osaka that people usually travel to. The organization sponsor a massive fireworks display in the summer, biggest in the city I think. Ever heard of that DTW?

Interesting tower, its design is bizarre, the b/w works good.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan
Looks like it could have been built by Fred Flintstone! It's so out of place. Only in Japan eh...

@Stu: Yes indeed. Cheers Stu!
@Daniel: It certainly is Daniel.
Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
Startling! I've never seen it, but you've done a great job capturing and processing it.

@Damon Schreiber: Thank you Damon!
Mike Cash from Kiryu, Japan
Man, that's bizarre! Looks like The Flintstones meet The Jetsons or something.

@Mike Cash: Mike, you should see it for real...
Alain from Paris, France
