Akihabara at night.
(What you can't tell from this photo is that it was very, very cold, and rather windy, so getting my hands out of my pockets to take a photo was a bit of a self-sacrifice!)
Winter sunrise behind the Pudong skyline.
Remark - the blue tone was achieved by setting the camera's WB to "Tungsten".

Aka "The Underpants" or "Big Pants" (大裤衩) as the locals call it due to it's distinctive shape.
This is a 44 storey, 234 m tall skyscraper located along the East 3rd Ring Road. It is the headquarters of China Central Television (CCTV in short).
Construction lasted from 2004 until 2012 with an impressive delay caused by a fire at Lantern Festival 2009 (part of Chinese New Year) that engulfed the adjacent "Television Cultural Center" (on the left in the photo). The fire was caused by CCTV officials holding an illegal fireworks celebration - this caused a major scandal in China, as the authorities, especially CCTV, unsuccessfully tried to suppress all news about that fire and its cause.
After being finally completed in 2012 the building won the "2013 Best Tall Building Worldwide" from the "Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat".
Here is a day view in BW, taken earlier on the same day.

Towering - the Christmas edition.
Roppongi Hills' Mori Tower with last year's Christmas decorations. What you, of course, can't see is that the Christmas tree (though perhaps it would be more fitting to call it a Christmas pyramid) was changing colour over and over again. And it was terribly windy! (I have a lot of photos from this visit complete with blond hair all over the picture... I won't be uploading those)
Mori Tower is 54 storey high skyscraper which is probably the most famous building in Roppongi - finished in 2003 (though now with some competition from Tokyo Midtown). It is now the home to shops, offices, an art museum and restaurants.
The Flatiron Building is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City.

The bronze statue 'Maman' by the French artist Louise Bourgeois outside Mori Tower at Roppongi, Tokyo. It's a gigantic spider. It is not meant to scare anyone, instead it is actually a tribute to Bourgeois' own mother, who died when Bourgeois was 21. Her mother worked with weaving and tapestries, but was also helpful and protective - just as a spider. The statue is one of six casts made after the 1999 original at Tate Modern, London (the other five can be found in Ottawa, Canada, Bilbao, Spain, Leeum, South Korea, Bentonville, USA, and Doha, Qatar.
The sculpture is here because of the Mori Art Museum at the top of the building (well worth a visit) - and it's gigantic, being more than 9 metres tall).
[Thanks Wikipedia for most of the information.]
Macau's most surreal landmark is the Grand Lisboa Casino. Looks cool in sunny daylight from certain angles and especially at night - but unfortunately on your average hazy day and seen from far away it's not as nice a view, not to say a grand monstrosity. But then, the people who built built the Fortaleza do Monte back in the early 17th century apparently thought way ahead and already provided a solution to improve the skyline.

Rotterdam is a wonderful city to take pictures. It's a modern city with a lot of high buildings and skyskrapers, but because there is also a river running through, there 's always a lot of space to have a good view on its marvelous architecture.
Just around sunset and after moonrise, before he lights came on everything became blue...
