The Bund Seightseeng Tunnel, Shanghai, China.

I am posting a picture taken under difcult lght conditons inside the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel in Shanghai. It is extremely touristic manner to cross the river, but it is also an attraction of it's own: a funny, spacy, naerly psychadelic way of transportaton.

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel has an advantageous geographic location: the exit and entrance are set respectively at Nanjing Road Bund and the booming Lujiazui financial and trade area. It has a length of 646.7 meters. An advanced unpiloted automatic control system is used. 12 sightseeing compartments that are transparent on its four walls continuously transport tourists to and fro between the banks of Huangpu River. At a speed of three meters per second, it takes only five minutes to finish the whole journey, with a maximum volume of 5000 people per hour. In the tunnel, helped both by various technical means and lighting system, series of pavonine pictures are presented before the eye of tourists. High-fidelity stereo system makes the tourists feel as if they were in a dream, enjoying the excitement of "penetrating the Earth". The tunnel is fed with latest technology light- and laser-show and at some place some sort of ghost is floating in between the tracks ...

Shoting a picture was very difficult, because I only had a lens with f4 min aperture and always changing lightening conditions. This shot was taken at 1600iso setting.
