In Japan Day 1.
Tokyo Tower is heavily inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris - if you ignore that it's painted in bright orange and white (due to air safety regulations). It was built in 1958 and designed by Tachū Naitō (内藤 多仲) and is 332.5 meters high (that is 1,091 feet). It's main purpose is to house TV antennas and to be a tourist attraction offering a great view of the city.

The light from the window at the top of the stairs wasn't really helping when taking this shot - but if you accept it, I think it adds some drama to the photo.
Taken at Glimmingehus. Glimmingehus is a late medieval castle built 1499-1505 in what was then Denmark and now Sweden. It was built for Jens Holgersen Ulfstand (died about 1520) by the master builder and stonemason Adam van Düren (who also did some of the decorations inside the castle). Adam was most likely from Westphalia but worked for several decades in Denmark and Sweden.
The house is one of most well preserved medieval castles in Scandinavia - but due to the lateness of the building date it soon went out of fashion and was subsequently turned into a grain storage. It was donated to the Swedish state in 1924 and turned into a museum.

(Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
But I am quite happy that I for once actually managed to capture the glitter effect in the snow (you can see it even more if you look at it in close-up)!
