Sunrise on Pudong, Shanghai, China

Sunrise on pudong by le niners.

I remember when there was nothing here but fields. No really it's true, and I'm not that old. Pudong is the new part of Shanghai that has burgeoned into modernity in an extremely short time. Where just 20 years hence, there was just farms, now stand some of the worlds tallest skyscrapers and other really expensive real estate. I've visited Shanghai 4 times over the last five years. Abet once was just a 6 hour stop over at the airport. And I am always in awe of this highly developed city. 


I selected this photo today because it is a little different form the normal tourist shot of Shanghai's Pudong district. Most photographers go a little bit further up stream, to the right of shot, to the famous Bund riverside. But this photograph is shifted downstream. In doing so, we turn the corner and get a view, 90 degrees rotated from the norm.
