Shanghai, China
’1930/40s downtown’ Shanghai (the Bund) west side of river, ‘Modern’ Shanghai east side of river. Truly amazing city.
I’ll get back to you on the ‘green blob’…

Shanghai over the Oriental Pearl Tower
Comment by Pascal Gilbraith | July 16, 2010
This is the Pudong district of Shanghai, China. The shadow of the distinctive Oriental Pearl Tower gave it away.
I’m still working on the little green blob.

Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai
I’m not entirely sure, but the building under it appears to be the new shanghai apple store. A few photos from the opening show the tower directly in the background. (http://www.razorianfly.com/wp-content/uploads/36330-500.jpg)

The little green blob is the glass-topped, underground Apple store that just opened on July 8.

Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai. The green blob is the snazzy looking new Apple Store that opened last week, topped by a 40 ft. high glass cylinder.

Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai, China
Comment by Barbara E | July 18, 2010
Lujiazui,Shanghai I knew this one on sight. The green blob appears to be a construction covering over what is now the Apple store in the IFC towers/mall complex. (At least I hope it is) I learned a lot about the skyscrapers of Shanghai on this search.
Comment by Dennis S. | July 18, 2010
It’s Pudong area in Shanghai, China. And the little green blob is the Apple Store at IFC Mall.
