Wonderful view of the Kabuki Theater (Kabukiza) in Tokyo's Kyobashi district as evening falls. The building is illuminated with the last yellow rays of the setting sun as stars begin to appear in the darkening blue sky, the reflection shimmering in the water below. A beautiful night scene with rich color and lovely shading.
