Photographers Note
For a congress i was in Shanghai and at nights i walked in the streets, tried to shot what i see. This is the first photo of my Shanghai so i'll post more about it.
I hope you like it.
The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is located in Pudong Park in Lujiazui, Shanghai. The tower, surrounded by the Yangpu Bridge in the northeast and the Nanpu Bridge in the southwest, creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with pearls'. The entire scene is a photographic jewel that excites the imagination and attracts thousands of visitors year-round.
This 468 meters high (1,536 feet) tower is the world's third tallest TV and radio tower surpassed in height only by towers in Toronto, Canada and Moscow, Russia. However, even more alluring than its height is the tower's unique architectural design that makes the Oriental Pearl TV Tower one of the most attractive places anywhere. The base of the tower is supported by three seven-meter wide slanting stanchions. Surrounding the eleven steel spheres that are 'strung' vertically through the center of the tower are three nine-meter wide columns. There are three large spheres including the top sphere, known as the space module. Then there are five smaller spheres and three decorative spheres on the tower base. The entire structure rests on rich green grassland and gives the appearance of pearls shining on a jade plate.

Neler yaptın oralarda seni gidi çılgın Mali? :))
Gerçekten de Pudong, Bund ve çevresi Shanghai denilince ilk paylaşılası yerler. Hem anılar canlandı gözümde, hem de çok kıskandım.
Gökyüzü ne berbat di mi?...

Hello,
J'aime beaucoup ta photo de cette vue de Shanghai. Les couleurs et les lumières sont douces. On distingue bien en fond l'éternel brouillard de ces mégalopoles asiatiques. Beau cadrage avec un peu d'eau à la base de la photo.

I like the light you are using and the grey tones of the sky. I have been to the top sphere of the tower 4 years ago.

O koskoca binayi ucunu kesmeden kadraja sigdirmissin ya, bravo. Bizim neden hic boyle kongrelerimiz olmaz ki, hep kiskanirim gidenleri. Gerci var ama paper sunman gerekiyor. Kim oturup hazirlayacak oyle sıkıcı seyleri, ucundan kiyisindan bi ulke gormek icin. Gezmeye vakit bile kalmiyormus. Sen gezebilmissindir umarim. Bu renkler niye boyle? Cin deyince aklma rengarenk bisiler gelir ama tatsiz tuzsuz bi yer gibi. Buyuk sehir iste, noolcak. Ama fotografini begendim, ona laf yok.

Hello, Mehmet
I knew this tower from TV, but this is the first time it stands in front of me in all its magnificence. Through understanding what this dragons are, through your note, one is filled with silent homage. And I thought the TV tower overseeing Sofia is something...
Regards,
Asparuh
