Travelogue: China #1

Since we are in the far east, let's take a look at China, too. My visit there was part of the same trip that included Singapore. The skyline in Shanghai is unrecognizable from what it was 20 years ago, so much construction has gone on there recently. One of the signature towers, but by no means the tallest, is the so-called Pearl Tower. My host in China took me there, and we paid to go up to the observation deck. This photo is a vertical panorama composite, treated with Photomatix to give the painted surreal effect.
