It's Shanghai, Yan'an Road West. You can see the front of Jing'an Temple and the adjacent mall in the distance. There's definitely some editing weirdness going on on the road in the foreground though.
Don't think its real. Look at the three identical blue windows on the front left house.
That's called a reflection.
A reflection. At this time of the year. In this part of the country. Localised entirely 3 floors down?
Yes!
It's a reflection of the far away road.
Looks straight out of Toronto QEW downtown.
It definitely looks a lot like Toronto, but it's been a while since I was there
Looked like Toronto to me too. Very similar design to the Gardiner Expressway going through downtown Toronto between the waterfront and CN Tower.
You know you messed up when a photographer can take what seems to be a long(ish) exposure shot of a highway.
Honestly I find myself trying to figure out how the photographer achieved this effect, rather than focusing on how much space cars take up in the shot. (tint the non-red highlights to blue, then oversaturate the highlights maybe? But how did they get the colors on the street lights?)
But needless to say that city would be better without a freeway cutting through it
Can I get a picture of INXS now?
I used my sister’s copy of “Kick” to get the monster “Gooaall!” in Monster Rancher.
Nightmare.
I wonder how many cyclists it took to cause all that traffic. /s
It's beautiful if you don't look at it for more then 1 second
let me work from home
It’s really pretty but I’m glad I’m not down there in all that traffic!
Is this Los Angeles?
