A Happy Christmas from Shanghai

[Muscat]

Just down the road from my hotel is a beautiful and very old Buddist Temple and slap bang next door to it is this shopping mall.

All three photographs were taken from the same position all I did was turn the camera around about 30 degrees to get the selection

A small part of the temple buildings


The front of the shopping complex ( I need to process this a little more when I get home)


And a Happy Christmas China style.

Unbelievable the cultural time difference between shot 1 and the others, ancient to modern in 30 degrees. But I really like the colours in 2.

I love #2.

I normally bang on about taking night shots at dusk to get some indigo blue in the sky, but for this shot, the black is much better.

Thanks Colin, in this instance I was happy to have a black background, as it was I didn't get a chance to see an indigo blue sky due to work, certainl no indigo blue skys in Kent now I am back
