View of Dubai Marina from the Jumeirah Palm Island. The skyline with skyscrapers in the distance and yachts in the water below make for a lovely cityscape. Dubai Marina is an artificial canal city, built along a two-mile (3 km) stretch of Persian Gulf shoreline. When the entire development is complete, it will accommodate more than 120,000 people in residential towers and villas. This is an enhanced, wider perspective of an earlier upload of mine.

Дом торговли, построенный по проекту архитектора Валентина Ежова, и названый в народе «Дом с помпоном».
Это был советский долгострой. Строительство здания велось в 1968—1981 годы. Высота 25-этажного здания составляет 93,7 метров. По тем временам, самое высокое здание в Киеве.
Киевляне его сразу невзлюбили и воспринимали как насмешку над суровой действительностью. Учитывая отсутствие товаров и продуктов в магазинах, тут же возник анекдот: «шар на доме торговли говорит о том, что в магазинах «хоть шаром покати». Киевский художник Валерий Акопов написал картину под названием «Вторжение».
Bay bridge and a sleepless city, San Francisco. Here I captured energy conveyed through this bridge to one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It recorded the hustling and bustling traffic flow over the bay bridge and the night light of the city where the energy is conveyed to. This is the city we all left our hearts in, once, twice, ..., many times, in every trips and in all memories. San Francisco, a city never sleep.
The POV is at Treasure Island, a place I have left many hearts. I first visited it in a dancing party event at the then Navy Officer Club in about 25 yrs ago, and since then it has become a routine stop in all my trips to SFO. Time flows, memories shine and faded but cityview stays.
