When the remains of a cluster of CBs meet anticyclonic haze, the views are bound to become interesting!
Built within the framework of Vladivostok's preparation to hosting the APEC Summit in autumn 2012, the bridge across the Zolotoy Rog Bay has already acquired the status of renovated Primorye capital's symbol and became its true adornment. With the new cable-braced bridge - one of the five largest bridges in the world. New bridge's main salt is unusual configuration of its pylons - for the first time in the history architects and constructors dared to build a bridge with diverging pylons. It amazes with its great size and ultramodern shape. The highway stream crossing is over two kilometers long, and the main leaf is 737 meters long.
Мост через бухту Золотой Рог, который появился во Владивостоке в рамках подготовки города к проведению саммита АТЭС осенью 2012 года, уже обзавелся статусом символа обновленной приморской столицы и стал ее истинным украшением. Вместе с новым вантовым мостом, который входит в пятерку крупнейших во всем мире. Главной изюминкой нового моста называют необычную конфигурацию пилонов – впервые в мире архитекторы и строители решились на сооружение моста с расходящимися ногами-пилонами. Он поражает своими мощными размерами и ультрасовременными формами. Протяженность мостового перехода составляет более двух километров, а длина главного пролета – 737 метров.
It should only be fitting that my last flight 2018 - and first with a new lens! - should be under a magnificent starry sky... and constant moderate turbulence with a 110 knot crosswind...
Camels traversing the Gobi Desert casts long shadows on the sand dunes at sunset. Stretching from northern China to southern Mongolia, the Gobi is the sixth largest desert on the planet. Unlike other deserts, the Gobi is considered a "cold desert," in that frost and even snow can be found in the dunes at certain times of the year. I can personally attest to the cold part. It was freezing here at sunrise!
A woman walks across newly dyed fabric drying in a yard. Everyone in this village on the outskirts of Dhaka is engaged in the production of these fabric. The process used is a technique called Batik where wax is applied to the cloth to create patterns and designs that resist dye. The fabric is used for domestic consumption and later made into sarees, salwar kameez, shirts, and home decor. It seems to me that whoever designed these color pairs had some knowledge of color theory!
Sunset in north Vietnam's Ha Giang Province shone a spotlight on this tiny mountainside hamlet. North Vietnam has many ethnic minority groups, and some especially the Hmong like to live in high places. Imagine going up that road to get back home every day!

This was the view as we were leaving Cuba in Nov 2009. The plane did a circle with the wing pointed down and I thought that it would make for a cool shot.
A bird's eye view of a former palace courtyard in north Vietnam. This palace once belonged to a Hmong King who incorporated Chinese influences into the design of the building. Many Chinese houses of old featured courtyards which served many purposes, including an open space for natural light, air circulation, and a communal space for family gatherings, celebrations, and daily activities. Courtyards also promote balance in line with the principles of Feng Shui, which emphasizes the flow of energy, health, prosperity, and harmony.
