On August 7, 2013, I went to the 69th floor observation level (at 273 meters high) of "Yokohama Landmark Tower", and took these photos. Can you tell what it is, the brightly lit spot in the center right hand photo? It is "Yokohama Stadium", where a professional baseball match between the strongest team from Tokyo was competing against a local team. The number of spectators that night totaled about 27,000 according to the newspaper.

Then I moved to the nearby International Passenger terminal, where "Nippon Maru", a 22,500-ton 500-passenger ocean liner, was berthed overnight. She would depart the next day for a one night cruise.  Incidentally, the tallest building in the photos is Yokohama Landmark Tower.
