Downtown Taipei is changing rapidly. There are many new high buildings completed recently and this is the updated cityscape.
台北的天際線常常在改變,一陣子就要更新一下,接張寬景。

It is so sad that Typhoon #7 has caused big damage in Japan. Meanwhile typhoon #8 is coming to Taiwan and Taipei will be the major suffering area. However, before the storm, the sunset is so brilliant as usual. A gift before bad thing?
颱風前照例都會出大景,今天也不例外,夕陽越是美麗,颱風的威力就越讓人害怕,希望大家都要平安無事!

There is a typhoon coming toward Taiwan right now. The sky cleared up and perfect for shooting. However, I did not go hiking this afternoon. This was shot 2 weeks ago.
颱風來前都會出景,可惜我沒出去拍,分享上兩個星期拍的。

I have not been shooting for a long time since the weather and visibility has been quite poor. The visibility was 50 km last Saturday afternoon but drop down to 25 km around the sunset time. Weird thing!
上週六下午能見度原本是50公里,我想終於可以上山去拍101了,沒想到上山後,5點的觀測突然降到25公里,幸好還是有紅...

This was the last image I shot in 2016. I do love the low fog in the back with city lights on. Wish you all have a joyful and peaceful New Year of 2017!
這是我等了好久的~平流霧與101夜景,作為2016的結尾,再適合不過,希望大家都有一個美好而平安的跨年夜!2017新年快樂!

I got my dreamy shot finally yesterday when there was low fog while the sun was setting. The red glowing clouds made Taipei 101 more outstanding.
昨天下午,淡水一帶就開始出現平流霧,我終於有機會拍到夢寐以求的景,101搭配平流霧與火燒雲,真是開心啊!

The lights on Taipei 101 has been repositioned on its top and is much smaller than the old version. Since the wording is in motion, only the heart sign can be catched by single shot.
101新版的字燈縮到頂端,所以面積較小,字都是用跑的,只有心型符號比較清晰可見,多日雨後,傍晚的夜景很美,「眼界豁然因有覺,六塵空後見真心」。

Taipei has been hazy for several days and it was too hot to be outside. Typhoon #4 will pass by Taiwan from the south next week. The sky was quite beautiful. Thus I went shooting with bathing in sweat.
這次的颱風好像不直接登陸,但還是帶來沈降效應,台北夕陽霞光大噴。

Taipei is very hot these days and reached 38.5ºC this afternoon. I was quite lazy to go outside and only can share a sunny shot last year of similar weather type.
最近真的熱爆了,能見度也不是很好,懶惰躲在家裡納涼。

After a long time of plum rain season this month, we got a brilliant sunset finally for the early summer. Love the burgundy tone of the clouds. However, grass grows high with the rain.
梅雨季節過後,終於盼來一個美麗的夕陽,好久沒來拇指山,蘆葦都長得好高。

I have not been shooting Taipei 101 for a long time. As the sky was very beautiful, I could not miss this fabulous sunset and night scene.
這兩天台北能見度都極好,昨天偷懶只在社區屋頂拍拍,今天衝一下拇指山,可惜雜草長高了,擋住左邊的視線~

Taipei has been cloudy and rainy for several days and we finally had a beautiful sunset today. I visited this shooting spot again to get a great view of Taipei 101.
今天天氣終於放晴,我造訪了拇指山,拍到最喜歡的綠色101~
