Sunset At The Shanghai Expo

Sunset At The Shanghai Expo
My impression of Shanghai is that the weather is generally gloomy (at least during my earlier visit in June this year). I had better luck with my most recent trip at the end of October, managing actually to catch a “urbanesque” sunset at the Shanghai World Expo two days before its official closure. According to Dad’s friends in Shanghai, great sunsets are hard to come by in the city. I was fortunate to catch this one as the sun descended rapidly over the urban landscape.

Memories of The Shanghai World Expo 2010
During my last trip to the Shanghai World Expo 2010 in June this year, I didn’t get many chances to take nice pictures apart from holiday snapshots of myself and CY — I went with minimal equipment (just a 7D body and a 17-40mm lens) then because of the worry of the long queues and crowds, and also because of the horribly gloomy but humid weather then. Having a quick opportunity to visit the Expo on the second last day before it closed on 31 October 2010 (during my conference trip to Shanghai last week), I managed to get some nice evening shots of the event for posterity 😉
