You enter this tunnel on the 41st floor of Nagoya's highest building (Midland Square) to get to the ticket machines for the 'Sky Walk', a rather large observation terrace.
The light is very dim except for a few unpredictable moments when the color changes to rainbow color.
Previously I've taken pictures here with a fisheye lens, which have turned out well, too, except for lack of sharpness due to inappropriate camera settings.
The wide angle lens, I used here, is new and somehow I expected it to behave like the fisheye, so I tilted the camera to get an interesting play of the lines, but after all, it's just a stiff wide angle lens, which doesn't lend itself so much to "play". And of course I need to get used to it...
Among the possible candidates for this entry, I chose the least dim shot and one without cut off lamps.
processing was:
ORF to JPG in Oly master
some minor crop
then some serious denoising
sharpen and more noise filter

Should add - I'm very happy, that this is doing so well! No matter if it makes the my front page or not, I am already happy with all the comments and the votes!

Very nice find. It would have been much better to put something of interest to focus on down the tunnel, even a person walking towards or away from the camera. Throw the camera on a mini pod and take a picture of yourself even!
