One from the Peak in Hong Kong. I arrived just as it was getting dark and it was facinating seeing the building lights go up over time.

Awesome shot, how high were you to get that? Very impressive. I have to make it to that part of the world soon, too many places on the list :-)

Yeah if you get the chance to go, the place is literally called the 'Peak' and you get a tram to the top. The place where I took this shot was about 20 min further walk up from where the tourists usually go.

Wow. Is that what it looks like now. The last time I saw Hong Kong, I was about 5 and seeing the city from the airport. I've not been back since and I would love to see that view and bring my 20D. :)

SuzyView - Great shot. It's a gorgeous night dream

See that big one in the middle left (IFC)? I swear that has timber framing on the outside. I worked ont he 20th floor for a week and could see where the paint had peeled back. I thought they were nuts to use bamboo scaffolding to build them but man.....!

Great shot. You've caught some of the upwards projection of the lighting from the sky scrapers. It really stands out from Kowloon.
