The centre of most Chinese cities is taken up with a large city square in front of the main government offices. Anshan city, in Liaoning is no exception. This photo was taken in the winter from one of the many tower blocks that surround the central square area.
The Lippo building in Hong Kong belongs to Indonesian tycoon Mochtar Riady who owns The Lippo Group. The building is one of the most recognisable among the Hong Kong skyline. I love Hong Kong. It is a favourite place for me. I never tier of the city. There’s always something new to do, something new to see, somewhere new to go. Maybe someday I’ll make my home there for a while.
The is the World Financial Centre building in Shanghai. I grabbed this shot using my mobile photo in June 2009. The posts and wall at the foot of the picture are part of building work for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. This was just a grab shot. I didn’t take allot of time over it. No tripod or lighting. Just a quick point and click. However, it has turned out to be one of the most popular photographs in my collection. By all rights, it shouldn’t be. It has many errors in it. The picture isn’t completely sharp focus. There’s a bit of camera shake. There are posts and fences encroaching in the bottom and so on. But none of that seems to matter. People, generally just like the view of the building stretching up into the night sky.
