This Is a Photo of Tokyo

This is Aogashima, an island about 220 miles off the coast of Japan. It takes its shape from the four calderas of its volcano.

That's an active volcano. Although it hasn't erupted since 1785, that eruption killed half the population. Still, theĀ 170 people who live here are a hardy lot and are not inclined to let the occasional (by the standards of geological history) cataclysm disrupt their plans.

TYWKIWDBI points out that Aagoashima is governed by the city of Tokyo. I have verified this claim elsewhere. So it's technically correct (the best kind of correct) to say that that this photo depicts Tokyo.
