Another view of life in Shanghai.

Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand

Incredible! It really does suit the B&W (or is that slightly sepia, sorry my eyes fool me sometimes) Its a stunner either way:-) The detail is amazing!

This looks amazing. Feels like you took us back in time! I always thought Shanghai has transformed itself into a modern city with very little reference to what it used to be.

@Nicholas: Shanghai really is a city of contrasts. You can visit places that so ultra modern it blows your mind, but just around the corner there is often the remnants of a tradition neighborhood. These days its getting less and less. This neighborhood will probably disappear in the next year or 2 as all around it is already highly developed and property prices have skyrocketed. Shanghai always seems to be reinventing itself!

Philip from Joburg, South Africa

Great shot it really does seem like a old fashion photo if it is not extra well done for fooling me !!

Absolutely great Kylie love the fact that through the smog? you can just see the modern high rises on the other side Beautiful snapshot of a place in time Which will probably disappear soon. ( snap shot is not meant to be degrogatory but descriptive of the event not the photo - if that makes any sense) I love it

Amazing document, it really is a superb image and very well composed. I say document because when these old shacks are gone - you have them on record.
