November 2009 – June 2010: 10 best photos

[peteryoung]

Ten more recent photos I'm rather partial to.



portrait
Yu Gardens, Shanghai, China. Partially sepia. ( 1 JUNE )




ljómi
Radisson Hotel, Muscat, Oman. ( 31 DECEMBER 2009 )




planet
Davis Strait, West Greenland coastline. ( 10 APRIL )




pylon
Kanchanapisek Bridge, Bangkok, Thailand. Almost every time I've crossed this bridge I've tried for this kind of photo; I finally got the result I wanted although I had to do some extensive photoshopping to remove a streetlight from the foreground. ( 25 NOVEMBER 2009 )




planet, with moon
Over the Sea of Japan, looking towards the Siberian coastline. ( 5 JANUARY )




pagoda
The three-storied, 25m high pagoda at Narita-san Shinshoji Temple in Narita, Japan. ( 7 JANUARY )




the ultimate library
The 'learning' exhibit in the Themed Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010. My jaw dropped when I turned the corner and saw this. Unfortunately they're not real books, just plastic spines of different colours and sizes, but they do all have real titles. This was inspiring. ( 1 JUNE )




skylight
The Shanghai Sofitel, seen through the lobby skylight. No colour manipulation. ( 1 JUNE )




autonomy
Part of the 'living' exhibit in the Themed Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010. ( 1 JUNE )




that's no moon...
The fossilized shell of a prehistoric Glyptodon in the Natural History Museum, London. ( 4 FEBRUARY )

Lovely, all of them. The 'library' makes my heart beat faster :)

I even went looking to see if they had any science fiction, hoping to find a bunch of classic Doc Smiths or at least some Wells and Verne, but the nearest I could find was some obscure Dan Brown thing called The Da Vinci Code.

Never heard of it; wonder if it's any good.

No.

Thank you, these are lovely. Particularly (for me) the two planets.

A beautiful collection of images! It's difficult to pick a favourite, but I particularly like "planet with moon".

All lovely. Thank you for posting them.

Wonderful, as always. I am partial to the lamp and the skylight.
