Hyatt on the Bund :: View towards Pudong

Another break in the Malaysia image flow… this is the view taken from the Hyatt on the Bund Hotel in Shanghai, looking towards the Pudong area.  I took this image a few days ago and thought it was quite good for a night time image using my Canon G10.

The columns are topped with capitals, some of them plain, but most in Corinthian style. The water level [...]

Shanghai @ Night :: Alleyways and City Lights

Alleyways and city lights is the subject of this posting.  Taken one evening in November 2009 just before it started to get really cold in Shanghai.  This area near to People’s Square is undergoing major construction and renovation.  The ambient lighting around the centre of Shanghai is also pretty crazy at night!

Construction near People’s Square, Shanghai
Construction near People's Square, Shanghai

It seems like I’ve been living in cities of construction for the past 3 years.  First Vancouver where they have been preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympics for the last few years, and now Shanghai where rapid construction seems to be a way of life - and especially because of the World Expo taking place [...]

Night time in Shanghai :: Nanjing Xi Lu looking towards Tomorrow Square

It’s been a while since I took night time pictures in Shanghai and last Sunday was reported to be the last day of good weather for a while (and that’s definitely been true all of this week!).  So I packed up a tripod and headed down towards People’s Square and went looking for some cool [...]

Another one of Flinder’s Street Station.  This time with a traffic light. It’s kind of similar to my image from KL of the Petronas Towers.

An evening in Hong Kong :: July 2009

Back to one of my favourite themes - night shots! This is part of the financial district of Hong Kong and shows the Bank of China building (left), next to the ICBC and Citibank Buildings. Can’t remember the name of the building to the far right, any ideas?? Taken in July, 2009.

It’s the blue theme again.  However, does this work better in black and white?

The Pearl Tower, Pudong, Shanghai
The Pearl Tower, Pudong, Shanghai

My final night time image of Shanghai for a while.  This is the Pearl Tower, an iconic image for Shanghai.  I’m hoping this counts as a more unusual view of the tower, taken from a temporary bridge near the new World Financial Centre.

More of Pudong Construction at night.  The workers in their orange hats and uniforms were happy to pose from a distance, but not so happy when I asked for some closeups.  However, these workers were not shy and stayed in the cab of this digger for a while so I could get this shot.  They [...]

Pudong Construction
Pudong Construction

Slightly different to yesterday’s images of Pudong, this one has one of my favourite features - a bright orange digger!
The construction workers were also happy to be in this image, although it’s hard to make them out.
