This was the view out of a window from our hotel in Tianjin. A construction site so big, makes you wanna slap your momma.
I'm always posting pictures and videos on my blog in high res, be sure to check it out!

K'NEX City!!! ^_^
That's crazy! I've never seen such a huge site...love the industrialness of it all. Also, love what you did with hdr to it...makes it seem dreamy...like a construction site on another planet!
P.S. your description cracked me up. =)

Astounding. And we wonder why there's a worldwide shortage of concrete...

Wow! Is this really a photograph? The extreme use of HDR here makes the image look a lot more like an artist rendering of a future project than a real photograph. Awesome work.

This was Beijing three to four years ago... most of the cranes in the world must still be in China right now..
This was 2.5 years ago with just finished construction near my home:

Wow! This is just an amazing shot - what huge site! The occasional color saturation is really excellent, it keeps everything from kind of getting lost in itself. Great job, man.
Feel free to add your pic to the Construction Site Pix group.

this is another amazing work that shakes my mind; it is truly a new millenium and China is leading the way in industry and architecture. My admiration to you for following this chapter in history and my congratulations to the people of China for realizing their dreams...
