  Photo: Pearl Tower in Shanghai

  10.25.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  This is a striking image, probably a HDR photo, of the 468m (1535′) Pearl Tower in the Pudong district of Shanghai. Across the river is The Bund, which feels more like Prague than China. This is the first photo I’ve seen that captures part of the essence of Shanghai as I experienced it a couple […]

  The Reno Nugget

  I have to admit, everytime I read, say, or think John Ascauga’s Nugget, I laugh. It’s a hotel complex in Reno and it’s ok for what it is. To be fair, I’m staying in the Courtyard, a $60/night deal which is closer to Motel 6 than it is Vegas resort; you get what you pay […]
