Pudong Giants Photo

Photographer’s Note

The tallest buildings in China are all clustered in this eastern side of the HuangPu River which marks the split of this huge city into east and west. This rapidly growing city has 18 million residents and literally hundreds of new sky-scapers are under construction at any time. The city is having a major facelift with huge new freeways to be ready for the Shanghai Expo next year. Any visitors from any country will be amazed at the modernity of Shanghai.
Taken from the fifth floor of Bund 18, a well known refurbished building with views such as this.

Hi, Murray,
Interesting panorama of Pudong. I remember a morning time here. Fogg is problem for any photographer.
Good composition. Thanks for memories!

Very nice picture, I like the colors despite of the bad weather, I even like how the fog/clouds partially hide the skyscrappers :)

Hello Murray,

This is a fine, balanced composition, showing modern Chinese architecture! Well I guess the style is not that special, a tall building is a tall building anywhere...
I notice the haze, but I don't know if it is natural or manmade pollution...

Greetings,

Hi Murray, This picture & near to where you are standing brings back some memories too me, I loved China & Shanghai was one of my favourite cities, a beautiful photo of the sky line across the water & even the slightly misty haze is perfect, I even remember that well, TFS, kind regards Wilson.
