Macau's most surreal landmark is the Grand Lisboa Casino. Looks cool in sunny daylight from certain angles and especially at night - but unfortunately on your average hazy day and seen from far away it's not as nice a view, not to say a grand monstrosity. But then, the people who built built the Fortaleza do Monte back in the early 17th century apparently thought way ahead and already provided a solution to improve the skyline.

Macau's newest landmark. Just surreal. The tower is a flower-like architecture, the globe of the bottom is the flower's bulb? Everything in ever-changing colors. The dome is capable of displaying text and coarse pictures that only resolve to something substantial when viewed from a distance.

Nina Tower in Tsuen Wan. Shot from the west side (Tai Ho Road), and this is Nina Tower I with 319 m / 80 floors. The smaller Tower II is just barely visible on the left behind Tower I.
The wind causes the tree in the lower right shake - and the shot was a little difficult, as only a Gorillapod tied to a lamp post was used as support for a 6 second exposure.

The top of Pudong's tallest almost vanishes in the clouds. Not the time one wants to be on the observation deck... 😀
Photo taken from the "Rainbow Bridge" (彩虹桥) - a place where you get a pretty clear view, no tourists (Chinese or foreigners) and worth a photo or two in itself.

23:35 - half an hour before midnight. A view towards east on the elevated walkway beside Century Avenue. All the decorative lighting and the advertising signs were turned off long ago... - and the tourists populating that elevated walkway at other times are long back in their hotels...
Taken about 2 hours after this Pudong skyline shot - took so long to change location while getting more photos on the way...
(and as usual, the crappy flickr location database wrongly states Hongkou...)

The Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC) and the Jin Mao Tower. In the background the twin towers of Shanghai IFC, the Pearl Tower and the Bank Of China Tower.
