Category and “Previous” Reminder

I’ve been taking photos of different places around the world for many many years now, and you might enjoy a few deep dives into the history of it all!  To see more of any particular country, go choose it from the lower right.  Try, for example, Argentina.  After you scroll down through a page of photos, click “Previous” to see another page.  Most regular readers here know this, but new people pop in all the time — so there you go! 🙂

Daily Photo – Little Beijing

While at the top of one of new towers built for the Olympics, I was able to get a good vantage back towards different parts of the city.  Beijing is so spread out — there does not seem to be a central focus in the traditional “skyscraper” sense.  I’ve taken a few other downtown shots you might recall (click on the”Beijing” category), but this spot was kind of cool and unique because of this tower I was in.

I happened to be outside with Joe McNally, after we finally convinced the officials to let us get beyond the inside and dirty windows.  We were out in the “5th ring” where many Olympic venues were built.  And so, here was this huge tower in the outskirts, looking back towards the city.  It seemed like a good situation for a zoom-in compression shot.
