above: Nov.2, 2009. Note that the Konica Minolta Tower at the far right is seen with two different paint jobs: the left (east) side of the tower still its older beige/bronze look; to the right (west) is the latest black/white colour scheme, with the vertical separations between the windows now more prominent in white, whereas before, being beige, they were lost. (Compare the tower's look, for example, to the Sept.20 or Jul.17, 2009 shots further below: the older paint scheme seemed to emphasize a more boring, horizontal look; the new bold vertical lines go back to the tower's original 1960's look.)
