The underground walkway between the terminals at the Chicago O'Hare airport. I referred to it in the Rainbow Wall photo, but didn't have a picture until now.

This is photo #197 in my Project 365 series.

Nighttime shot of Hong Kong Island and Tsim Sha Tsui from the Victoria Peak.

This was a difficult shot to take, especially since I did not have a tripod with me. The best vantage point was the edge of the Peak Tower viewing platform, but the wide guardrail there was sloping, not flat. I had to balance the camera on a bag set on that rail, support the bag with one arm without touching the camera (or breathing much) and trigger the shutter via remote control with the other. I took about 30 shots at various shutter speeds and focal lengths, but this is the one I am most happy with.

This is photo #150 in my Project 365 series.

Looking up through the atrium at the HSBC building in Hong Kong. Quite unique architecture in that one.

The Lippo buildings in downtown Hong Kong. I liked how their dual reflections of each other create an impression of the third building hiding between them.

City Hall glow

Andrei Z posted a photo:

Was heading to the Muse show at the Civic Auditorium and noticed the pretty glow of the City Hall nearby. I really like this building, partially because its architecture is inpired by a couple of buildings in Paris, including Les Invalides.

This is photo #159 in my Project 365 series.
