Another view of the stark features of the framework of the Bird's Nest: the Beijing Olympic Stadium. I wonder how this stadium will stand the test of time; it seemed truly remarkable in 2008. Really hope that it does endure.
This is downtown Hong Kong, a myriad of low and high rise buildings, and just like any big city, an air of organized chaos. It had a very familiar feel to it, though, despite having a strong far eastern influence - i guess it was the British colonial history. China, 2008.
Another view of some of the smaller business establishments and the rather uninviting high rise accommodation in Downtown Hong Kong. Its not all glitzy high rises in HK. China, 2008.
