πŸ“Έ- Building Mountain πŸ” - Colour and Black n White Photography

Monstrosity or Man-Made Wonder?

I've been sitting on this photo for a couple of weeks, not sure which category it should be under, but I figure why not - Architectural?

This was shot across the Ap Lei Chau channel leading into Aberdeen. If you've ever seen Bruce Lee's 'Enter the Dragon', there's a scene at the beginning of the movie where he's on a sampan (small Chinese boat). This is approximately where that scene was shot.

Anyhow, the light was so good that day I was snapping away and when I checked the pics later on, this one stood out because of the structure of the buildings on the other side of the channel, resembling some kind of man-made mega mountain made completely out of concrete. I can imagine adrenalin junkies trying to climb it like a mountain, traversing from one block to another, and finally reaching the summit :)

Hence the name : Building Mountain

Photos shot on my LG V10 smartphone and edited in Lightroom

The light was so good, it made the scene look like a painting! Definitely deserves a resteem!

I really like the angle and the composition. You know, I usually prefer B&W, but for this I think I'd go with the color one. I really like the way the light hits the buildings, and the color of the sky against them was just so splendid. It really does look like a mountain, and even though I'm not a huge fan of cityscapes, this definitely passed with flying colors for me. Nice work with this! :D

Thankyou @jedau - for your upvote, resteem, and fab comment. Very much appreciated :)

I've a few more shots from that late afternoon which I'll share sometime soon. Cheers!

Hi @shadisaaed - Thanks for your upvote and follow. A little advice though - Try to write comments about the posts themselves and don't ask for upvotes and follows. It doesn't work here. Steemit is not Instagram. Write valuable comments and let the blogger decide whether or not he/she wants to follow or upvote you. Thanks - I hope you read this :)
