Last Day In China

The rain has stopped.  The Typhoon is over, leaving behind a smog free, blue sky.  Finally an opportunity to take some decent pictures of Shanghai's famous sky line; it's almost as though someone knew it was my last day here, turned off the taps to the clouds and blew away the haze.


As soon as I got up, I made a bee line to the Bund and to the Pearl Tower; an angular building with 3 red-ish, pink pearls in the middle of its structure.


The tower had 15 levels that you could view the skyline from.  The highest observation deck was at 1148ft and the view from the top was amazing.



On one of the observation decks there was the standard glass floor, a necessity for any high rise building.  A floor that always takes that extra bit of courage to step onto, because there's that chance that the glass will cave in and you will plummet to the ground.


I was still snapping away at the top of the tower at the onset of dusk.  There was something very picturesque about a purple sky hovering over the skyline of Shanghai.  A lovely last day.
