Financial District NYC

This night photograph was taken from Clifford Pier looking towards the Fullerton Bay Hotel and part of Singapore’s Financial Centre. The Lantern, at the top of the hotel, offers drinks and snacks while guests enjoy captivating skyline views of Marina Bay. Many of the financial centre buildings were well lit and some of their company staff might be working with colleagues around the world.
Recently one of my friends made a joke, saying that I am The River Thames' personal photographer. Basically he was eluding to the fact that the vast majority of my snaps include the Thames... and upon further inspection by myself, I realised this is true! So, for a change here is a London Scene without the Thames. In view is St Mary Axe (or the Gerkin) and some London buses zooming by on their daily business of picking people up.
I went for sunset and happy I did. Although you can't see much of the sunset (at least not as much as you would near the river), the sky was a gentle orange and pink hue. It was a freezing evening. But happy I ventured out :)

I was making the best of the sunshine in Glasgow - there were lots of deep black shadows and every building in the financial district glowed with amazing reflections. Hopefully I managed to get some of that vibe in. Was also delighted it was accepted into the LFI online gallery Architecture / Cityscape

¿Por qué el Oculus se llama "el Oculus"?
El nombre proviene de la franja de ventanas, o tragaluces, a lo largo de la columna vertebral del techo. Oculus es la palabra latina para "ojo", que, en arquitectura, se refiere a una abertura redonda o similar a un ojo con vista al cielo. Eche un vistazo a través de las ventanas y verá Freedom Tower.
Es una vista inspiradora.
Esta abertura también permite que entre la luz del sol cada mañana. El ángulo de las ventanas está particularmente colocado para que cada año, en el aniversario de los ataques, el sol brille directamente a través de la claraboya e ilumine el salón principal a las 10:28 am (hora del derrumbe de la segunda torre). Se llama el "Camino de la Luz". Calatrava colocó el edificio ligeramente inclinado con respecto a la cuadrícula de la calle para lograr el efecto.
Si bien el diseño complejo fue responsable de varios retrasos en la construcción, el edificio es ahora un destino habitual para los visitantes de la Zona Cero. A la gente le encanta tomar fotos dentro y alrededor de la estructura monumental.

The Brighton Eye
Brighton used to have a Brighton Eye the same as this one but it had to go when Brighton and Hove City Council agreed a deal with British Airways to build the i360 on the site of the old West Pier. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through B&H City Council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract up to 800,000 paying customers every year. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier.
In June 2018, disappointing visitor numbers forced the owners to ask B&H City Council and the LEP for better loan repayment terms. The local paper reported that "in the first full year, from August 2016, the i360 had just over 500,000 visitors, significantly fewer than the 800,000 predicted." The shortfall in visitors was blamed on “poor weather and the unreliable train service to and from London”.
The i360 made a loss of more than £5 million last year, the latest financial reports have revealed. B&H City Council are now owed almost £48 million as the attraction suffered another successive year in the red.
“Now, after the Federal Reserve quietly admitted gold is replacing the U.S. dollar, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned of a ‘striking’ decline in the U.S. dollar’s share of allocated foreign reserves of central banks and governments.”
“At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.”
“At the BRICS summit in Kazan, a symbolic banknote featuring the flags of member nations was unveiled, sparking discussions on creating alternatives to the US dollar and fostering a more independent economic system.”

i guess i like street shots for the fact that you dont necessarily need any central point of focus. u just capture the scene as is and get the over all mood of the shot.
i had to clone a person out of this shot, and i suck a cloning but i did my best !

Close up candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. A little too close as my lens failed to focus properly and his leading eye is a little soft in 1:1 view but I love the shot anyway. Enjoy!
The view of Singapore Central Business District also known as the Marina Bay Financial Center. It is the core of Singapore's financial activities and thus financial buildings of well known banking institutes are easily spotted at this area. To name a few, they are the UOB Plaza building, HSBC Building and also the Maybank building.
This area is known to be more densely packed than other parts of Singapore. In order to accomodate the densed population and inhabitors, a great number of train network are concentrated in this area.
