Shanghai Day #1 Photos

The bottle opener from the side.

The bottom right -- the 2nd largest building

in the world (Shanghai Tower).  The bottom

 left -- the famed bottle opener building

 (Shanghai World Financial Center).  Top is the

famed Jin Mao Tower.  All in all, a very

cool perspective to shoot from.

Click on the picture to see the airplane better.  These

three buildings form the world's first grouping

of three adjacent super tall buildings.

Stacked on top of each other, they would add up

to 5,067 feet tall.  The top building is 2,073 feet tall,

with the building on the bottom right being 1,614 feet,

and the bottom left building the shrimp of the three 

at 1,380 feet.  Pretty cool.

From the 118th floor.

The top of the bottle opener from the 119th floor.

These skyscrapers look tiny.

From center are three of the 

largest buildings in the world.

Good shot of the east bank of the Huangpu

River, from the Bund on the west bank.

The Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (domed

building), the Customs House, and, behind it,

the Lotus Flower building.

The Monument to the People's

Heroes, garishly lit up like

an overdone Vegas casino.

Cool scene for a movie I will never see.

Cool building.
